with host artist Miriam Schulman
Journaling has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety. It’s known to help with finding inspiration as well. Since you are here, it’s a safe bet you too are looking for inspiration. We are deep diving into creative art journaling.
Creative journaling, also known as visual journaling and art journaling, is known to today’s guest, Abbey Sy, as travel journaling. Abbey is a published author, creative, influencer, and YouTuber with more than 40K subscribers.
In today’s conversation, Abbey details her creative experiences, combining her love for travel with editing, producing and so much more.
In this podcast, you will discover…
Travel journaling and creativity with Abbey Sy:
- Producing YouTube content and creative direction
- Having her travel journals published as zines
- Documenting life on paper to make art more accessible
- Going through a creative energy slump
- Who is the future Abbey?
- Detailed account of being published
“Travel journaling has a really special place in my heart, and I really would like to share that with other people, and with others who would want to know more about it.” – Abbey Sy
Abbey’s obsession with art and her work ethic has created the opportunity to publish 7 books on all things creative and artsy, from hand lettering to calligraphy to her travel journals. Because creatives sometimes struggle with disciplined organization and productivity, Abbey also shares her best tip for staying productive.
“Enjoy the journey. Live in the moment and really embrace every part of it. The good, the bad, and all these little things that make it great.” -Abbey Sy

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur, how to make money from your creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country. I’d love to invite you to check out one of my free resources for art lovers (of every passion level) at schulmanart.com/freebies
