Episode 118: Listen to an Impromptu Coaching Session with a Gen-X-Loving Artist, Lea Ann Slotkin
You often hear Kellee exploring different strategies, finding a niche, and discussing her coaching program, but this episode is an extra special treat as we hear from Lea Ann Slotkin, an incredible artist who is pivoting her business into coaching. During this conversation, Kellee and Lea Ann discuss the challenges they both have experienced, the similar life experiences they are living as Gen-X women and mothers, the trials and triumphs of building a business, and the creative liberation that follows.
Lea Ann is passionate about the societal pressure that Gen-X women experience and the pressure that this can put on your creativity and artistic spirit as you are trying to guide your adult children through new experiences in their lives, while possibly caring for or supporting the aging process of older parents. All of this is concurrent with Gen-X women securing their place in their careers and building their brands after being able to take back time for themselves.
As the conversation leads on you get to experience an on-the-spot coaching session between Kellee and Lea Ann as they brainstorm and Kellee shares a vision for a possible pursuit for Lea Ann's joy of working with Gen-X women and artists. Uncovering some "ah-ha" moments Lea Ann points out that sometimes business owners can be so deep in the weeds that hearing someone like Kellee explore a bigger picture of what is possible for a business can be the eye-opening moment that many creatives and artists in business are looking for.

About Lea Ann Slotkin:
Lea Ann Slotkin’s artwork captures the intensity and extravagance of the natural world. By combining collage, acrylics, and other mixed media, Lea Ann is able to translate the miracles she sees in the world around her, effortlessly combining a wide-eyed wonder with the skill and confidence of a mature artist. Her detailing and mark-making on her paintings bring emphasis to the subject matter pictured as well as the feeling behind the work simultaneously. In her collage work, Lea Ann often incorporates bits of collected and found objects, which gives her work a depth of character and a dash of nostalgia.
Lea Ann also became interested in creative coaching over five years ago, after a coach helped her make the decision to leave a corporate career in fashion in order to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an artist. Her business now combines the two things she loves most, creating and selling her art, and coaching fellow creatives. She helps fellow artists to be as enthusiastic about building their creative business as they are about creating their art. She is here to debunk the myth of the “starving artist.”
