What if one little word could change the trajectory of your life?
Yet.

That simple word has become one of Deb Kraska's DebraK Art greatest teaching tools, not just as an eighth-grade computer science teacher, but as an artist, entrepreneur, and creative encourager.

In this episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, Deb shares what it was really like to close the doors of a successful brick-and-mortar business, navigate perfectionism, redefine success, and bet on herself in a whole new way.

One of my favorite moments was hearing how she teaches her students to stop saying:
"I can't do this."
Instead, they learn to say:
"I can't do this... yet."
What a beautiful reminder for all of us.

Whether you're building a business, learning a new skill, raising a family, creating art, or simply trying to become the person you're meant to be, this conversation will encourage you to keep going, even when the next step feels uncertain.

Because growth rarely happens all at once.

It happens one "yet" at a time.

🎧 Deb's episode of The Motivatarian Exchange is now available on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

💙 I'd love to know...
What is something you can't do... yet?

We love this reminder from Deb Kraska, one of our Turquoise Iris Journal curators featured in the EMBODY volume.

Choosing growth over perfection means being willing to experiment, change direction, and make things that might never see the light of day.

And that's time well spent.

If your painting looks ugly right now, good. 🎨

That’s the messy middle, and every painting I make goes through it. It’s the stage where the layers don’t make sense yet, the colors feel muddy, and you want to scrape it all off and start over.

Don’t. That’s exactly when it’s about to come together.

Send this to a friend who’s stuck in the messy middle right now, and follow for more encouragement from my studio.

Now go make something today, and send me a picture 💛

I got a sneak peek at Volume 25 of The Turquoise Iris Journal as one of its curators, and I can’t wait for you to see it! 💙
This issue is called EMBODY, and it’s all about making creativity part of the life you’re already living, not someday when you have more time or a better studio.
EMBODY arrives October 15 in print and digital. Comment IRIS and I’ll send you the link, and follow along for my full flip-through when my copy arrives.

What I wish someone told me when I started painting: it doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth making. Some of my favorite pieces started as ‘mistakes.’ Follow along if you’re figuring this out too!

This banner started as a blank canvas and ended up as one of my favorite quick projects. Painted with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint, follow along for more transformations like this one.
