Show Notes

Whether your passion is art, music, or even skateboarding, it’s worth fighting for. Wouldn’t you rather work hard to make your passion work instead of giving up early because it’s not ‘easy’ or traditional, and wonder for the rest of your life if you could’ve made it work?

Zoe Bentyne is a yoga teacher, an artist, and an enthusiast of all things creative. Her passion for creating really grew in high school when she knew she wanted to pursue her passion for art as a career. Though, she was conflicted with whether she’d be able to find success in that route. As she continued to pursue art as a career she was introduced to art therapy and fell in love with the idea. Now, Zoe can be found constantly creating and cheering others on in their own creative abilities.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Zoe joins Joanna to share her journey as she learns to navigate how to pursue what she loves while also making a career out of it. Zoe’s determination and story is proof that no matter what others may say about your dreams and interests, the only one who has the true say and impact is you.
