Thank you for your beautiful work, words, and wisdom. Always a joy to listen, learn, and become inspired along your journey and with your encouragement to others. Love your podcast & highly recommend Making Art Work (though it could almost be two semesters…🤭💖🤗) ✨🤍✨

Emily’s voice has changed how I see myself and understand my innate being as a creative. Though I am not a visual artist, I found her resources transferable. Most of all I LOVE her voice, so reassuring and empowering! I’m a pianist, listening is how I enjoy taking in information. She shares so much about her personal recovery from burnout which was what drew me to her at first. I connected with her generous and loving nature. Since then I started my piano studio. Her latest episode on desires for creative freedom and emotional security are spot on. I learned so much about myself as an artist and how to best use my time and energy and honor my highly sensitive human nature. We, artists, sense the world and our emotions so deeply, busy life often can be so overwhelming. I can’t wait to dive into MAW. THANK YOU Emily for speaking into my ears! 💛💛💛

I am so happy that Emily is back to making podcasts! I took her MAW (Making Art Work) in 2022 and I LOVED it. It was very transformational and I believe because of her course I started selling my artwork. I found that it was not only a course for improving my art business but improving my life. Growing as a person. The lessons transfer to so much. Values, social media, how we communicate, connection.. I could go on. ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve listened to every episode of your podcast this week and I can already feel a shift. There is so much positive energy surrounding me. I look forward to your future episodes.

Every time I see an episode has dropped, I’m giddy! Couldn’t recommend enough.

I love her tidbits of knowledge and nuggets of wisdom all swirled into one creative cone of goodness!

Emily, you are such a Joy and Light. I love that an owl came to visit you 😊 and I love how real and encouraging you are. Thank you for your podcast and for what you do in this world through your art and The Collective.

I was reading the episode notes for episode 77 and the beauty of this phrase really struck me: “Create a terrarium around your inspiration and walk in it as often as you can. Creativity is blooming inside of you because it has found a home there. “ Your words are beautiful and pure poetry. Thank you for all you do.

First of all, Emily makes you feel like you CAN be an artist and a successful one at that. Her tone, her focus, and her thoughtfulness just all come across beautifully. I love that she’s not about hustling—hustling makes me feel manic and flames the anxiety I’m always trying to keep under control. I’ve done the hustle—and it feels like I’m a headless chicken! I love knowing there’s another way. I’m looking forward to joining The Collective in March!!

Love this podcast.. love Emily. I’m so great full for this community and the resources she creates!

Really loving this podcast but I guess some episodes got deleted? But otherwise, a very informative podcast!

Was very curious about this podcast but couldn’t continue listening to it because I found the continuing background music very annoying.

Thank you Emily, another inspiring episode. I always enjoy artist info and your views on them.

I can’t wait for making art work & the collective this year!!! Doing both!!!! Emily has inspired me so much over the years and reminded me painting is my TRUE PATH and I’m MOST definitely an entrepreneur!! This is my favorite podcast as an artist and she continues to inspire me and motivate me in my career! Thank u Emily! -lexirussoart 🖤🌿🌟

I really loved it it had a wonderful vibe!😊

Emily always shares to most helpful and beautiful information. It makes me feel like being an artist is not only worth it but doable. ❤️

I love listening to Emily as I draw and paint. I’m in the second year of starting an online business and I’ve learned so much. She is easy to listen to and shares so much practical advice that has worked well in her business.

This podcast is so encouraging. If you’re an artist aspiring for more for your work, listen to this!!

This podcast is easy to listen to and learn from. I enjoy listening to it while soaking in the bathtub. At times I dry off my hands to take notes or I listen to it again in a more paper friendly location.

There is a lot of very useful information and answers to many questions I have had. The overall tone is relaxing.

Emily’s content is relatable and so applicable!

Generous info.

I love listening to this while I'm gardening. Definitely a great podcast for creatives. I'm a new artist so this is super helpful and fun!!

This podcast is essential for the artist’s toolbox. Not only is the content insightful and essential for the creative entrepreneur, but it is thoughtfully delivered in an articulate, warm package that feels crafted just for you. Emily Jeffords will be your new spirit guide.

So helpful and inspiring. Emily is incredible..Highly recommend!!

Emily, I just happened upon your podcast and listened to part one and two of your story. I had an awesome custom mural painting business from 2,000-2,010... I experienced physical and mental exhaustion as I created every day feverishly. I continued part time until 2015, and was really bummed about my hands and neck... So, I created a guided very successful guided painting class and worked in a rented studio space. I did this for 2 years and we built our dream home on a lake. I too had to create art to pay the bills in many of those years. Now, I am Wanting to start painting on canvas In a small space I recently organized in my home. I don’t have to make money to provide any more. I am so inspired by you and your journey. Goals and success are important and have always motivated me. I’m scared but excited to have been led to you. I am considering the 12 week course and I can’t tell you how happy I feel as I watch the snow fall on the lake here in Indiana. Hope to meet you sometime soon! Blessings T

Emily, After hearing your story and how you started, I not only would love to be your student but would also love to be your friend. You really inspired me in a creative and human level. Your are such a good person, hope to met you soon 🙏 thanks for sharing, @Artbypatnunez

As a creative getting back into my work after some time away, this podcast has been so full of wisdom and education that I didn’t even know I needed until I heard it. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise with the creative community!

Emily has such a kind and generous way of sharing her creative and business wisdom. She’s a wonderful teacher and artist and i love that i get to learn even more from her in podcast format!

Info seems very useful. I started on episode 10 I think because it seemed very relevant and useful, unfortunately it came across as a sales pitch to invest and I wanted to listen to the information now and free.

Great podcast, just wish the audio was better it’s extremely quiet

Just finished the first episode and I’m already in love. Emily is a great teacher and communicator and I left the episode with some great tips I’m excited to try. Thanks Emily!

I've been using the #doitforprocess hashtag for awhile. Now that I've found the source it has so much more meaning. Really enjoying what I am listening to so far.

Love this podcast by Emily Jeffords on do it for the process. She has the most down to earth inspiring words just when you need it. I just recently found her on instagram and now the podcast but with everyday that I get to know her more she is one artist that just shares her heart to you and never holds anything back. Follow her and listen to her podcast to know more, you will truly love it. #doitfortheprocess

I have loved following Emily’s art and was overjoyed when she began this podcast! Each episode feels so thoughtful and intimate, like I’m sitting in Emily’s studio and we’re having a chat together. Thank you so much for this encouraging and informative show!

I am not a visual artist, but I am a composer of contemporary-classical music. For a bit now, I have felt unsure of my work and a little stale in my creative process. This podcast has been truly inspiring and motivates me to look at my own process and ways I view my work/how I create in a new light. I am going through the different tips Emily offered in her first podcast now-to try new ways of creating my work and switching up how I work-and am really excited to see what happens (something I haven’t felt in a while!). Emily, thank you for your honesty and inspiration!

I'm so thankful that Emily pushed the idea of having a podcast! It's definitely great to hear the words from an artist who's been there done that. Emily exudes what makes her Art amazing all the way to this podcast- inspiring, true, and with love.

This is a fabulous podcast for artists. Emily is an excellent teacher who is so relatable and down to earth. She gives great advice!

It’s impossible to listen to this podcast and not feel uplifted, as though by a pair of strong hands, that are encouraging you and supporting you to create. It is transforming my creative practice and filling in all the gaps for me. ❤️

Emily invites us into her studio and shares her beautiful insights and encouragements. I found myself pausing the podcast to scribble notes and quotes in my sketch book. I work primarily in ceramics and even though Emily is a painter I found so much truth in her words and wholeness in the things she shares. It’s truly something I look forward, it’s like Emily and I are hanging out in the studio together creating and conversing all the while.

As a “50 something” artist getting back to my art, this podcast is so encouraging to me. It is so easy to listen to and is just the push I need to really think of why I’m doing what I do and how to be successful.

My hyper-critical and practical side is constantly at war with my messy creative self. Emily’s wise thoughts and tips are so refreshing and encouraging! I need to hear “do it for the process” every day. I need it plastered above my studio. Thank you so much for the tips. I can’t wait to journey along with this podcast and trust my work to only thrive.

I absolutely love this podcast! And it's still so new! It was launched at the perfect time in my life! I've put art on the back burner for so long in my life. I get into this dark zone where the world disappears. I can spend hours and lose track of time. So... I promised myself in college pursuing my professional goals I wouldn't touch art. Then I got married had babies... Totally forgot I knew how to do art! WHAT! Just a few years ago I painted a simple thing for a friend and a portrait for my sister, then I realized I knew how! I've gone crazy! People are having me paint their dogs, And loved ones. I want so bad to make it into a job! I love that she suggested to paint what I want and limit the amount of customs I take on! This has really been a pivotal moment for me! I want to make $$$ and she gives me great ideas! I love this podcast! She has a beautiful voice and is inspiring! I have loved every podcast and the encouragement! I love her Instagram #doitfortheprocesspodcast it's a great platform for artists who have shared their pieces sharing this dream to make a legacy with their passion! Thank you for your beautiful voice and encouragement! Thank you for your ideas on success!

I am in the process of really trying make a career out of my art and had no idea where to start. I am so glad to have found this podcast right when I needed it thank you! I am so inspired ♥️

Emily continues to inspire me in every way. After only episode one of this glorious podcast I am left feeling soo deeply inspired and with the need to truly be honest with myself and my art and discover who that person is and what my creativity needs. As the podcast ended I was moved to tears, literally. I felt every word she shared to my core/bones/belly what have you. Truly amazing and a must for everyone with a desire to create and inspire. Let’s be bold and brave and cheer each other on. Thank you thank you thank you Emily for sharing your wisdom and kindness with all of us!

This podcast came into my life at just the right time. I’ve been itching to get back into painting, and all of her inspiration is driving me closer! Thank you Emily!

Inspiring, motivational, encouraging, uplifting! I know this has already helped spur me forward in the creative process. Thank you, Emily!

Love hearing from Emily- such a lovely spirit. Thank you! Can’t wait to hear more episodrs

Encouraging and beautiful, in true EJ fashion! Thanks for being such an inspiration and a lovely human being. Look forward to more episodes and to hear it evolve and grow as we all do.

Thank you, Emily. You’re a gorgeous artist and human and I’m so grateful to get tips from you.
