Masterpiece
Hosted by Jessica Yolanda Kaye · EN
Masterpiece is a podcast about learning to live creatively. A space to slow down, reconnect with the artist inside, and create a life that feels beautiful to you.
I’m Jessica Yolanda Kaye, and I’m an artist. Every Friday I share personal reflections and conversations with artists and creative thinkers who are learning to listen to their voice, trust it, and create a life that feels deeply their own.

Can I Go After What I Want? with Cass Seidler
2w ago00:57:31Tap to summarizePsychologist Cass Seidler joins me to unpack two listener questions. Together, we explore why it can feel so hard to give yourself permission to go after what you want, how perfectionism, people-pleasing and uncertainty can keep us stuck, and why the things that make us feel most alive are still worth making space for.

Transcribe →You Need Your Cheerleaders
Jun 1800:15:35Tap to summarizeCreating a life and art that feels true to you is like climbing a mountain. It can feel long, lonely and uncertain. But after six months of releasing Masterpiece, I'm realising that none of us are meant to do this alone. This is an episode about the cheerleaders who help us find the courage to keep going. And a thank you to everyone who has reached out, shared their story, and reminded me that there are people on the other side of this microphone!---Email me at jyk@masterpiece.fm---Order a One Word Journal---Instagram @jessicayolandakaye---Newsletter https://jessicayolandakaye.substack.com/

Transcribe →The Tender Experience of Being Authentic
May 700:16:51Tap to summarizeWhen I moved back to Sydney, I started confronting the things I’d spent years running from. My mind. My body. My feelings. And it was much harder than I expected. Much more time consuming, exhausting, isolating. I thought it was getting in the way of my life and my painting. But lately, I’ve realised it was never separate from the art. It was leading me back to it.Thoughts?
