In this episode, Zona and Brian sit down with pyrography artist Brandy Roels to talk about her artistic journey and the realities of building a creative practice while raising a family. Brandy shares how she discovered pyrography and the tools, wood, and inspiration behind her original pieces.
The conversation also explores the less-visible side of being an artist: finding time to create, sharing responsibilities at home, managing custom orders, and navigating the mental and emotional load when everything needs attention at once. Brandy reflects on what she has learned about protecting family time, creative energy, and the space to make art for herself.
Whether you are a full-time artist, a hobbyist, or someone trying to fit creativity into an already busy life, this episode is a conversation about finding a balance that works for you.
