Our April Check-in is all about the topic nobody wants to talk about: money.

How often are we thinking it? How much emotional strain is it costing? What are we sacrificing because of it?
In a grounded and confidential space, we'll examine how exhausting making money in this world can be.

About this Space: A place to land for artists of all mediums.

A creative life can be one of the most gratifying experiences in the world—and also incredibly stressful and lonely. We feel deeply and overthink often. At our best, we pour these things into the work. But sometimes the work isn’t enough, and we need to talk through our experiences with people who speak the same language.

This Space is for artists of all mediums who need a community for support.

Here, we talk through our experiences without judgment and without the pressure to have answers. It’s a place to share your story without interruption or unsolicited takes. It's also a place to gain insight from fellow artists and remember that we’re not navigating this alone.

Who Am I?
Hi, I'm Vanessa, a Los Angeles-based artist and recovering hot mess. I've battled many challenges, from undiagnosed depression to struggling with alcohol abuse, and knows first hand how hard it is to face complex emotions alone.
Through my personal evolution, I've learned how to take action in my life, transforming negative patterns into sources of contentment by reconnecting with the versions of myself I used to hide. Still far from perfect, I host Spaces to show that little by little, a little becomes a lot.

How Does it Work?
This is an open, guided discussion led by your Keeper, Vanessa. Each participant will have the opportunity to listen to and share experiences on love, well-being, emotions, and whatever else comes up during the session.

When and How Do We Meet?
We meet digitally to make participation easy for those with demanding schedules. Cameras are optional, and you’re welcome to join from wherever you are, even between shifts. We only ask that you find a private place to join or use headphones to help maintain the security of everyone present.
