On this episode of the Fika podcast, I talk with DD Lecky about how she managed to hone in on her passion when she had so many interests to distract her from her true path, how she has faced her fears and what it's really like to quit your day-job and just 'go for it' with your creative self. What does she miss from her steady income, and what is it like running a study/art gallery?
