Are you a visual artist who’s brimming with ideas, but struggling to finish what you start? Do you feel scattered—busy, yet somehow not moving forward in your art practice? You’re not alone.

In this episode of the Help I Am Artist Podcast, artist and coach Sonja Smalheer guides you through the powerful shift from scattered to focused. Discover why clarity is the secret ingredient for creative momentum, confident decision-making, and sustainable growth in your art practice.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to recognize when you’re in the “scattered artist” phase
• Why distractions keep holding you back (and how to break free)
• The 10-ball analogy that will transform the way you invest your creative energy
• How focus touches every part of your practice—your art, mindset, message, and even your income

This isn’t about limiting your creativity—it’s about unlocking the clarity that fuels true freedom in your art life.
