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 9 | In Which We U-Turn
This week, we’re talking U-turns, and asking the big question: Are you lazy, or are you just blocked? Because spoiler alert—it’s not always easy to tell. We dig into whether your so-called laziness is actually just fear in a really good disguise. We’re also getting real about fame culture and whether it’s secretly ruining your life. Is it possible that not feeling your feelings is what’s keeping you creatively blocked? And what if jealousy is less of an emotion and more of a neon sign flashing, “PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR OWN STUFF”?
We also wonder: What if you stopped trying to make perfect art and just made art? Would the world end? Could the cure for fear actually be love? (How?!) What’s your relationship with discipline—is it a helpful tool or just another stick to beat yourself with? And could curating your creative space for your artist child actually change everything? Also, enthusiasm? How do?
Anna and Sarah lean into their own creative U-turns, confess how they got turned around, and try to figure out what it takes to get moving in the right direction again. Spoiler: it’s not clean-cut for artists, and it’s definitely not a straight line. But hey, when is it ever?
Grab a snack and let’s go!
