Episode 10: Art as Your Superpower – Jade Forder on Healing, Creativity, and Confidence
Guest: Jade Forder
Business: Empowering Art Educator + Creative Guide
Episode Summary:
Jade Forder is a creative force with a deeply nurturing soul. She runs empowering art classes for women and families—helping people of all ages reconnect with their confidence, creativity, and inner voice. What started as a weekly homeschooling group over a decade ago has now blossomed into a beautiful business offering after-school classes, private art sessions, group workshops, and healing creative experiences.
But Jade’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. When faced with the reality of not being able to put food on the table, she made a bold decision: to take her art business seriously so she could both provide for her family and be present for her children. From that turning point, Jade learned every skill she needed—websites, photography, online courses, ethical business, and more—all fuelled by determination and heart.
In this episode, Jade shares how art helped her navigate mental health struggles, why self-confidence is every woman’s superpower, and how creative expression can help us feel more like ourselves again.
