Summary: So, you know you want to start a business, but you haven’t nailed down your idea yet. And that’s okay. Today’s guest, artist and author Kimothy Joy, is the perfect example of how you can stumble across a lucrative idea just by creating enough white space and following your joy. In our conversation, she shares how losing her mom to breast cancer and getting married and divorced in her twenties was the catalyst for reframing her life and rebuilding her identity from scratch. It’s through that journey of self-discovery that she fell in love with watercolours, turning what was once a fun hobby to switch off an unwind into a big business. Her art work features portraits of women, both present and past, along with powerful statements they’ve made. In this episode Kimothy shares how learning to love herself was the gateway for establishing genuine relationships with other women. We talk about the moment her political artwork went viral after the election, what it was like seeing her work on signs all over the world during the women’s march and why we need to support women-led businesses if we want to see more of them. Kimothy also shares how she manages to stay creative, now her livelihood depends on it and the strategies we can all implement to lead with more grace and self-compassion.
