Yes Ma'am! A Comedy Podcast for Creative Recovery
Yes Ma’am Podcast is a comedy podcast for creative recovery—aka that sweet, messy process of reclaiming your inner artist after burnout, perfectionism, or just life got in the way.
Hosted by Anna and Sarah—artists and business owners—we explore what happens when you get out of YOUR OWN WAY and just MAKE THE THING. We ask how to make space for play and curiosity. What if it's the journey that matters? Not the final product. DANG
If you’ve ever said “I’m not creative,” or you feel you've lost your creative voice, we’re here to lovingly call BS. Doing this work can make you more sparkly in every area of your life—because it’s not just about making art. It’s about reconnecting with yourself, your intuition, your aliveness—and bringing that into everything you do.
Each season, we walk through The Artist’s Way, asking big questions (no answers), making weird stuff, laughing a lot, and accidentally healing. Come sit with us.
We love you.

WEEK 3 | In Which We Confront the Chaos
It’s Week 3, and we’ve got a lot of questions. Anna spirals into the weeds of her daily life, wondering where the heck she’s supposed to find space for this work. We dive into the connection between power, lifestyle, and what’s considered “normal,” and then—because why stop there?—we wrestle with success vs. significance. Meanwhile, Anna realizes TV ruined her brain, yet she still wants to write for TV (make it make sense).
Is watching something the same as doing it? Can you live a conscious creative life without suffering for your art? What if the process was actually fun (well… mostly)? And what if you thought your goal was to be an artist, but deep down, you just saw creativity as a stepping stone to being rich and famous? 😬 We also ask the realest question of all: Can you pause and actually feel success in your body, or are you too busy skipping ahead to the next thing?
Sarah drops that being an entrepreneur requires a certain amount of psychosis. We also get real about who we let into our creative spaces (and who shouldn’t be there). Plus, if you decide the what, does the how really follow? And what even is an intentional foul?
The Artist’s Way is making us define our what and why, and honestly, we’re kind of failing—but also having a great time. And just so you know, we are currently only accepting compliments. Thank you. 🙏😂
