IN THIS EPISODE...

Hola Gwapas and welcome to episode 18 of the Hola Gwapa Podcast! For those of you who are new to the show I’m your host Nisha Btesh. I’m also the Founder and Creative at Hola Gwapa a digital community of almost 12 thousand artists and creatives from all over the world, a blog, a website, an online shop, podcast and most recently a small batch slow fashion line! On this podcast we take the creative conversations even further, sharing the real stories, tips and tricks the Artists in this community have found on their journey to success. 

I’m SO excited to wrap up our second year on The Hola Gwapa Podcast with this very special bonus episode with abstract artist, mindfulness explorer and yogi Gina Gaetz. Gina is an OG member of The Hola Gwapa community, so if you haven’t already make sure you go back and check out her writer feature on the site posted back in March of 2020. Since then Gina’s career as an Artist has flourished even further. And in this episode we really get into it - chatting transparently about our experiences in art school as a true jumping off point for our creative careers (love that we have that in common!). We chat about her passion for the practice of yoga and her yoga community and how she has actually leveraged both to catapult her career as an Artist. But what I also love is we talk about the challenges we both are facing as we actively transition our side hustles into a full time legitimate business. Gwapas there are SO many real and authentic inspirational nuggets within this candid conversation that are going to uplift, motivate and carry you into 2022 ready to up-level your art game and take on your creative career with confidence. SO with that let’s get into the show!
