with host artist Miriam Schulman
Ever looked at a piece of your art and thought, This one is too special to sell? Or maybe you’ve had the opposite feeling—panicking because you need to make a sale, so you slash prices just to move something fast. If either of those sound familiar, you’re not alone. Artists constantly battle fear, scarcity, and impatience when it comes to pricing and selling. In this episode, we’re unpacking the emotional traps that can sabotage your success—whether it’s overpricing out of attachment, underpricing out of doubt, or rushing into sales out of fear.
“If you aren’t pricing with confidence, you’re pricing with fear.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- Discover why overpricing can be a sign of emotional attachment, not value.
- Explore why discounting your work trains buyers to wait for a sale.
- Learn how impatience leads to underpricing and weakens your sales strategy.
“Selling your best work isn’t about losing it—it’s about making space for more.” – Miriam Schulman

I just wanted to tell you how successful our Open Studio was and just sing your praises for all the things that I did. And I kept thinking, Oh, this is what Miriam would do. You would be very proud.
