Should I share my personal struggles as an artist on social media?

Yes, let some personal content come through on your social media. The struggles of an artist are real—the internal struggle, the mental challenges, all of it. Share these authentically so other artists and collectors don’t feel alone in that process. People connect with the human side of your journey. You can share struggles with caring for family, reconnecting with your inner child, or creative blocks. This vulnerability builds genuine connections with your audience. Just be selective and authentic—share what feels true to you, not what you think people want to hear.
