Film Courage: What if all we can do is think how scary a problem is? There’s so much fear in it, that it’s almost untouchable, we can’t deal with it?
Artist, Writer, and Board Certified Coach for Artists & Creatives, Sasha Patpatia: Then we’re not ready to face it and that’s okay and there’s some prep work to be done within ourselves and that’s okay. It’s most important to know where we are, not to fight all our monsters at once.
Film Courage: This goes back to what you said the intention, you want to set an intention for the coaching and if I’m picking too many things?

Our work is to take steps that are super manageable and digestible and actionable which builds the muscle for us to get to that big scary thing because as we walk closer to it that mountain becomes more of a molehill.
Film Courage: How does an artist avoid negative thinking and spiraling? Things are usually very extreme to artists and when things are going great, then we don’t need to worry about it, but when things inevitably shift, we spiral down?
Sasha: I’m like How do any of us avoid that? Oh man, it takes time and practice to be able to catch ourselves in the spiral.

About:
Sasha Patpatia is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and board certified coach for artists & creatives. She loves to be around and support the growth of talent, professionalism and people creating beauty for this world. Growing up as a musician, Sasha closely documented her local music scene colleagues through creative writing which led to her first professional opportunity as a freelance music journalist while in College. Upon graduation she segued into artist marketing and national sales roles within independent outfits and major labels in Los Angeles. Drawn to the mysterious and visionary minds of high achieving artists, she worked alongside an elite team of A-list film composers, managing day-to-day business affairs and assembling talented teams of musicians and producers. In working closely with commercially established creatives, she saw that there is a clear discernment between how commercially successful work and personally meaningful work are not always in alignment. With a mission to participate in the arts community in a radically different way than the status quo, Sasha discovered the skill of Coaching and became professionally trained and certified in this new field. Through coaching, Sasha is able to partner with artists and other inspired souls to support them in taking their art and business to the next level. Sasha’s coaching and consulting agency, True Vision Studios, offers bespoke partnership opportunities that enable individuals and creative teams to move past confusion or fear, and into bold, uninhibited productivity. Sasha believes that creative suffering inhibits creativity and produces more angst than art. It takes an immense amount of courage, collaborative support, and the audacity to respect & follow one’s own ideas to realize true creative achievement.
