How do you walk away from a successful creative business when your heart is pulling you in a new direction? How do you follow that internal North Star despite the shame around choosing a new path? How do you do the hard work of reinventing yourself as an artist? Rebekka Seale is an oil painter based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has owned a number of successful creative businesses, including wedding-cake bakery The Cake Parlour and Camellia Fiber Company, a collection of luxury hand-dyed fibers and handspun yarns. Rebekka has also worked as a freelance illustrator, doing work for print and greeting card companies as well as private commissions. Today, Rebekka joins me to explain how her desire for making and learning translated to several successful businesses. We discuss Rebekka’s ability to reinvent herself when she’s called to a new creative pursuit and how she came to her current work as an oil painter. She describes the challenge of developing a business mindset as an artist and her take on art in the home as part of a family ritual. Rebekka also opens up about her adopted daughter, Pascale, and the traumatic fertility journey she endured on the path to becoming a mom. Listen in for Rebekka’s insight around the relationship between passion and success and learn how she overcomes resistance to follow her internal North Star—and reinvent herself as an artist. What You Will Learn How Rebekka’s desire for making and learning translated to several creative businesses Rebekka’s enneagram personality type as a highly creative, introverted artist Rebekka’s ability to reinvent herself when it’s time for a new creative pursuit How Rebekka views painting as a spiritual practice of self-care Why it’s harder for Rebekka to develop a business mindset around her artwork Rebekka’s insight on art in the home as part of a family’s daily ritual How Rebekka’s creative process involves living with and listening to her work How childcare allows Rebekka to carve out blocks of time for painting Rebekka’s traumatic fertility journey and struggle with in vitro fertilization Rebekka’s disheartening experience with corruption in international adoption How Rebekka and her husband came to adopt their one-year-old daughter Rebekka’s advice around whether to share personal experiences on social media How Rebekka worked through the shame associated with following her North Star The role of passion in birthing the hard work it takes to reinvent yourself Connect with Rebekka Rebekka’s Website Rebekka on Instagram Rebekka on Pinterest Connect with Beth Beth’s Website Beth on Instagram Beth on Pinterest Beth on Twitter Local Milk Blog Local Milk on Facebook Email hello@localmilkblog.com Resources Mentioned The Enneagram Institute Camellia Fiber Company Beth’s Intentional Goal-Setting Workbook Tonic Site Shop Showit

How to Reinvent Yourself as a Multi-Passionate Creative – with Rebekka Seale

Lisa Garcia

We are starting off 2017 with a workshop that dives into the details behind dying fiber with natural materials such as roots, flowers and nuts. Rebekka Seale of Camellia Fiber Company teaches how to use natural dye baths to create all sorts of beautiful dyed yarns! We'll take the finished yarn and turn it into a beautiful wall hanging though the expertise of Lisa Garcia of Sonadora Studios. Today, we chat creativity, artistic backgrounds and what makes for a really super studio relationship (these two are best friends). Learn More: https://thecraftersbox.com/2017-01_featured-maker/

She dreams of one day having an entire wall of local farm yarn. It’s important to her to have quality items, that feel accessible, so that people feel welcomed into the world of knitting/sewing and inspires all the creative juices.
