In this gentle, grounding episode of The Splatter Effect, Kayla (Art Business Coach) and Kendal (Fine Artist from Fairhope, AL) pause to reflect on what it means to protect your peace in a season full of heavy headlines and emotional noise.

They share two powerful quotes that are shaping their own mindset this season: "Setting boundaries is an act of self-love." ✨ "What can you do to have some sense of peace when things get really un-peaceful in your life?" — Brene Brown

If you’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately, this is your permission to breathe, reset, and find the clarity you need to move forward with intention.

It can be lonely selling art every week without a solid group of like-minded friends.
