] “I feel myself as a vessel. I translate that emotion that comes from me or  from the cosmos, the air, from the whatever it is, I translate it for people in this dimension to be able to interpret.” Jazzy Olivo[36:20] “The more we feel, the more our capacity to feel grows.” Mandy HarmonIf you'd like, follow @artbreakerspodcast on Instagram for fun behind-the-scenes photos of the artists at work and snippets from the show. And if you have an admired artist you'd like to hear from, visit artbreakerspodcast.com for artist submissions, show notes, and more. You might have noticed that for these first few episodes of Art Breakers, most of the artists are from LA and Utah, that is because it was important to me to record in-person conversations for the first few episodes as we developed the podcast voice. As it grows, expect to hear from artists everywhere. I'm your host, Mandy Harmon, a film director, creative marketer, and sometimes with teeth gritted, consider myself an artist. Conversing with me in this podcast are mostly full-time creative artists of all kinds. Musicians, filmmakers, actors, sculptors, painters, writers, and many other kinds of storytellers. We talk about artistic philosophies, personal experiences, and even creative therapies that got our Artist Guests to where they are. From imposter syndrome, to when to quit, to how to persevere, to misconceptions of what artists need to be in order to be an "Artist.", we talk about it all in free-form conversation. Whether or not you personally identify as an artist, if you feel a call to be creative as all humans eventually do, there are valuable lessons to learn from full-time creative people.

With artist Jazzy Olivo. We talk about her history for the first 20 minutes, then we get into her artistic process: the importance of resetting, ideas on grief and healing (Jazzy's had more than her fair share of tragedy), and why creativity needs silence and space.Finish listening to Broken Bloody Heart here, or anywhere you listen to music. You can keep up with Jazzy at @jazzyolivo on Instagram, and you can also give her Tedx talk a listen.[23:20] “I feel myself as a vessel.
