Arts To Hearts Podcast
Hosted by Arts To Hearts
A podcast for women artists about the professional and personal realities of building a creative career, hosted by founder Charuka Arora.
This show is a resource hub for women artists, blending practical business advice with personal vulnerability. Host Charuka Arora alternates between deep-dive interviews on topics like finance and law, and solo episodes where she shares her own struggles with burnout and the pressures of a creative career. The feed is also interspersed with short, visually-driven profiles of contemporary women artists, making it a multi-format experience.
“The blend of formats is its key differentiator: long, practical interviews; short, inspirational artist showcases; and vulnerable, solo host episodes. This combination of business school and personal journal for women artists stands out from other art podcasts.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Charuka Arora opens interviews with broad, industry-level questions to frame a problem (e.g., the financial struggles of artists) before drilling down into specifics. She often references a guest's own writing from platforms like Substack to ground the conversation. Her style is supportive, positioning her as an advocate for her artist audience by asking for definitions of complex terms ("What does capital...mean for artists?") and for strategies to overcome common creative mindsets ("What do you say to artists who resist treating their art as a business?").
The show has a mixed format. Long-form episodes are typically interviews or solo host monologues where Charuka Arora uses an empathetic, conversational tone. The feed also includes short, visually-driven profiles of artists, often under a minute long and without narration, that serve as quick showcases of an artist's work.
