Ep 244: Joanna Henly on change, understanding the self to help others, and balancing mentoring with her art

(The highlights edition of this episode is also out now)

After many years working as a full-time illustrator as Miss Led, Joanna Henly has grown. Returning to the show for the 3rd time, Joanna reflects on her 5 years helping others as a mentor, balancing it with her art practice, and the personal understanding and acceptance it's required.

We get into sensitivity, the importance of 'white space' to think, process, and develop relationships with all things key to optimal creativity.

Joanna moved from London to Lisbon to find more of that white space and time to think, and she details that change, and why that uncertainty is necessary.
