Masterpiece

Jessica Yolanda Kaye

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.

    Permission to Do Less

    When I feel overwhelmed, like there aren’t enough hours in the day, every part of me wants to do more. Wake up earlier. Cram it all in. Get on top of things. Lately, I’m learning the opposite might be true. This episode is about doing less. Letting go of pressure. And giving yourself permission to meet yourself where you are. --- You can order a One Word Journal here Email me on jyk@masterpiece.fm DM me on IG here And sign up to my newsletter here Thank you for listening :) JYK 🤍

    The Pain of Perfectionism with Cass Seidler

    I always thought perfectionism was a bit of a humble brag — a flaw that was actually a strength. Something that helped you get ahead. Then I read an article in The New Yorker, and everything changed. I realised perfectionism isn’t something to gloat about at all. It’s a debilitating way of being, with deep roots, that can quietly stop you from living, creating, and connecting. In this conversation, I sit down with Cass Seidler, psychologist and recovering perfectionist. Together, we unpack what perfectionism really is, how it shows up, the toll it takes on your life, relationships, and energy — and what the road to recovery can look like. -- You can order your One Word Journal here Email me on jyk@masterpiece.fm DM me on IG here And sign up to my newsletter here!

    The Mother, the Artist, and the Craftsman with Grace O'Neill

    Grace O’Neill is a writer, editor, podcaster, and this year, she became a mother. After years of searching, pivoting, and finally finding the confidence to say I am an artist, Grace had her son, Eli, and time became very real. In this conversation, we talk about the fear of motherhood, how it surprised and stretched her, and what it’s been like writing her first novel amidst it all. We talk about perfectionism and craft, devotion and discipline, and what happens to the artist when life gets fuller. --- ONE WORD JOURNAL Pre-order here. --- GRACE O'NEILL Instagram + Substack Read Grace's piece: Dispatches from Motherhood --- NEWSLETTER For 'Things I learnt from Grace' and more sign up to my free newsletter here. --- JESSICA YOLANDA KAYE Instagram + website.
