"I truly believe that everything I paint is just an expression of me and my soul... creating my art for me above anyone else."
Creativity Found podcast with Emily-Jane Sarroff
In the latest episode of the Creativity Found podcast, Emily-Jane Sarroff chats with me about the radical act of choosing creativity over external expectations.
Emily-Jane walked away from a career in architecture and a six-figure business to rediscover a truth many of us forget: productivity isn’t the same as fulfillment.
In this episode, we discuss:
The “Disappointment” Narrative: How the internal pressure to succeed led Emily-Jane away from her creative roots after high school.
The Architecture Trap: Why a “creative” degree can sometimes feel more technical than expressive, and the brave decision to “leap” away from a career that wasn’t fuelling her soul.
Choosing Self over Scale: Why Emily-Jane closed a successful, six-figure business to stop “proving herself” and start living from a heart space.
“Weird and Woo Woo” Art: A look into Emily-Jane’s spiritual, abstract style and why she prioritizes creating for her own healing and expression rather than for commissions.
Practical Creativity: How to set up a permanent art space (even in a garage corner!) and the importance of scheduling “buffer zones” to transition your brain from logical work to creative flow.
