The Unlikely Artist

The Unlikely Artist podcast is my way of giving back to you. Join me every Tuesday for real coaching and advice that will help you think more expansively about what’s possible for you, overcome your emotional roadblocks, and move your life more solidly in a direction that feels authentic to who you are.

My task in each episode is simple – to deliver my very best insights about life to you. I affectionately call you all “my Savvy Souls” because when I record my sessions, it’s like each one of you is there, across the table from me as we drink our coffees and chat. I imagine you as an intelligent, curious, accomplished, soul-searching, creative and passionate human being.

My wish is that you will tune into each episode and feel fully heard, understood and accepted as you are. You, Savvy Soul, are a treasured client. Welcome to my podcast. Write to me anytime with your suggestions or questions: heather@gracedcanvas.com.

Who’s Driving Your Bus? | UA06

Public Speaking, Fear and Being Yourself | UA04

In this episode, I tell a story about how I overcame my fear of pubic speaking and the important lessons I learned about just being myself. We spend too much time catering to the “they” we’re so convinced are out there waiting to judge us. This keeps us from showing up as our best selves...

She asks them to ask themselves if each item in their house brings a “spark of...

Why What You Want Matters | UA02

In this episode, I flip on its head the idea that paying attention to your deepest wants is selfish. Both women and men are socialized to deny themselves the things they most want. We spend our time doing all the things we believe we “should” do. We try to appease our parents, bosses, spouses, friends,...

My Unlikely Journey from Tax Lawyer to Artist and Coach | UA01

Because I’d labelled myself as “uncreative” for decades. Because my tax law practice was thriving, and it seemed so odd to leave my high-profile...
