Feeling Seen in the Art World: Meeting Apollonia Sokol & Embracing Authenticity

In this very special episode of The Artist’s Mindset, I open up about a truly inspiring experience that made me feel seen in the "real" art world for the first time. I share the story of meeting Apollonia Sokol during her artist talk at Aros, alongside my friend Kirsi Tilk, and how we later had the chance to interview her for Sydhaven Radio (link below!). ✨ Meeting Apollonia felt like pure divine timing, confirming what my heart already knew: I can — and should — create and live authentically.
