I binge watched ALL of your videos. I'm so happy you didn't quit youtube. Please stay challenged by it so we don't lose you guys. Adore you both. Thank you so much!!!!!!❤
KayDaisy is a cozy gaming RU-vidr, singer and professional organizer. Whenever she receives a dislike on her live streams, she sings "Every party is a pooper, that's why we invited you. Party Pooooper. Paaaarrttyy pooooppper." It's not only hilarious, but a great way to respond to the lack of love received by many creators. Great listen, Rafi and Klee!
I watch you guys a lot but never comment... I think your podcasts are the best shrink in town.... I have listened to many, on many subjects and always learn the most from Rafi and Klee...
Once again you guys talked about something I really needed to hear. My Dad called me a Gypsy (meant to be an insult) when I told him I was selling my house and taking my studio and camper on the road. This is why I rarely call him.
You guys are Awesome!! 😎👍 Being Real is the Only Way for moving Forwards!!😊❤ After Hubby spent my life sayings, I have Still Managed to get my House in the Countryside!!😊🎉 Thank you so Much Again for your Encouragement!! ☺️❤🎉
What a gift you two are. Terrified to do an actual art show, I signed up and did it. Moving up to the date, I binged on your videos from 7 years ago up to the current. I can't seem to catch you when you are live. I have to s say I did the show and met some amazing people. I sold 1 picture the first day, and 2 more the next day. As I was breaking down at the end of the show, a lady came running through the park to buy another before we left. I wouldn't have even tried it without your show. I did a sale on the last day and cut my prices which I feel no shame over. I love that my art is out there. Im very grateful that I found your show!
No need to feel like you have to explain yourself or feel shame. We all go through stuff. I think you are brilliant and you found a way to make sells in which you needed. I was very excited to get all of my goodie’s. Now just like me setting up on the side of the road at that intersection just to see if anyone would stop by. To see if anyone would buy my art and oh heck yeah they did. Maybe get a few things and go out somewhere and see what happens. You don’t have to set up a tent. You don’t have to stay all day. Just a few hours and see who will stop to talk to you. It’s fun. No scheduled show just go for it! You know the saying Build it and they will come. ❤😀
Klee, Rafi...how do I express the gratitude and love I feel for you for addressing, in depth, those aspects of our psyche that hold us down and beat us down? Thank you, thank you.
I have had so many of these moments when I start plotting and trying to figure out how I can get money for some sort of financial emergency. I am like you Rafi. Money matters little to me also. We were the well-dressed kids even though we were not rich and at times my parents really struggled. But, my mom made sure she shopped clearance and got the rich people’s clothes at the thrift store and she ironed every thing. It was her aesthetic and I appreciate it so much. But, I do think I have that sort of feeling that I don’t want to LOOK like I need help. I’m very sensitive to being embarrassed.
Really enjoyed this as a podcast, so I hopped over here to give it a like on YT too. 🎉 Thank you both for being so honest about your insecurities and how you work on growth. Really appreciate it!
I love the encouraging energy and the message you two put out there. I think often it is from the deepest pains, shames etc that we have inside, where we can find the message we are well placed to put out into the world. If we never got encouragement, or have been very self critical etc. When we overcome that, we can share that with others, share the other side of that pain. Like, share hope, encouragement, love etc. We know what the lack of that feels like, so we can now lift up others through our art who need it. Encourage others to keep going. Stop paying too much attention to those who project all their negativity and criticism. Just show them love in return, not getting lowered to their level. Maybe it will cause a change in them. Like you, if I get negative comments, I always look at their channel to see what they are sharing with the world. Usually it's nothing and they don't even show their face.
Quiet Desperation Quiet desperation; Alone in the cafe- Escape the sweltering heat. Unpaid computer work, Knitting till your fingers ache. Study, write, draw, paint and craft - None makes the cut Piles of art never sold Living a life Of quiet desperation. 6/21/24
Thanks for this video. It's hard to be real, but twice as hard to not.I try to listen to my gut feeling and how does it show up in my body. It is so healing to recover or reconnect with your authentic self. Maybe that's why you felt such relief. Keep growing; I love it 😅.
I’m at the shame spirals with family addiction. Been trying to escape for years. I fell into the stuck spot with old programming and became that person again. Placing energy where it’s mature and reciprocal is helpful . Thank you for the reminders.
I love this conversation! Adding to what I have heard so far, I have a story of not putting the art on sale because I am afraid of disrespecting the art itself. I didn't go to art school, but I have heard a lot on RU-vid and online classes that you don't put your art on sale because you are saying that the art isn't worth what you originally priced it at. Like you are disrespecting the creativity gods or muses. I feel like I have failed the art if I haven't sold it for the original price. Part of me realizes that it is all a story, but I still struggle with this one.
I’m on a rollercoaster too re emotions with the videos I’m posting documenting my journey to figure this creative business stuff out. What helped is when someone referred to it as collecting data. I’m going to have more information at the end than I did at the start. Not just what works and what doesn’t but who is watching and who isn’t. I’ve had three people call me to say the videos are ‘inspirational’ people, I haven’t spoken to in ages or have never spoken to offline. That’s interesting data!
In general humans are self absorbed . They are concerned with you are going through. We Atist are struggling . I believe because I'm doing good artwork.
You two are inspiring, relatable, kind, & funny.. I get a healing dose of therapy in all the areas: psychology, socialization, & of course: Art~ every time I listen to your vids. Thanks for it all, Rafi & Klee!
Klee looks fantastic! Wow! You age reversed even more! ❤ you two are amazing. You have been an inspiration for me for years. So glad you are staying strong and persevering. Focus on the positive, have gratitude, and faith. I wish I could give a million likes to this video🤗
This was so open, beautiful, wholesome... so much amazing points in this one, its hard to find the correct words to describe just how immensely helpful this episode was, you guys are truly an inspiration. Thank you for putting yourselves out there, keeping on growing and showing how its done! ❤
