Astrology, Abundance, and Art World Strategy: A Conversation with Marina Granger
There is a specific kind of magic that happens when two Manifesting Generators sit down to talk about the art world. In our latest episode of the Create! Podcast, I had the pleasure of dropping in with my dear friend, soul sister, and fellow "PomMom," Marina Granger.
Marina is the powerhouse behind The Artist Advisory, and she recently stepped into a new era with the launch of the MFA Podcast. In this episode, we move beyond the surface level of gallery submissions and CVs to talk about what actually moves the needle: identity, energy, and the science of abundance.
Rewiring the "Sticky" Beliefs
We often think that success in the art world is purely about talent or who you know. But as Marina shares from her years as a gallery director in New York City, it often comes down to internal clarity. We dive deep into the "identity pyramid" and how shifting your core beliefs can actually change your physical results.
We also get very honest about "sticky" beliefs around money. Whether you’re an immigrant artist or just someone navigating the feast-or-famine cycle, we discuss how to regulate your nervous system to feel safe in "cash overflow."
Practical Magic: Astrology and Feng Shui
From the cosmic timing of the Year of the Horse to the classical Feng Shui "27-item rule" for stirring up prosperity in your studio, this conversation bridges the gap between the practical and the mystical. We talk about:
Radical Neutrality: Why wealthy individuals don't put luxury on a pedestal and how you can apply that to your art career.
The Power of Decluttering: Why clearing the "scary spots" in your studio (or under your bathroom sink!) creates a vacuum for new opportunities.
Human Design: Embracing the multi-hyphenate life as a Manifesting Generator.
