How to Build Confidence and Joy Through Art: A Motivatarian Exchange with Royce Hunt

The Motivatarian Exchange with Dionne Woods

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Royce Hunt—creative educator, artist, and founder of Roycycled—to talk about the courage, curiosity, community, and growth that fuel her mission to help women live more art-filled lives.

Royce opens up about her family history, the pivotal moments that shaped her as an artist, and the ways she keeps showing up for her creativity—even in seasons when motivation feels far away. With tears, laughter, and an unwavering belief in the healing power of art, she shares how she guides women in their third act of life to create meaningful work that reflects who they truly are.

We talk about quieting the inner critic, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and why community is often the key to staying motivated. You’ll also hear about her original line of decoupage papers, stencils, and courses, plus the beloved Roycycled Besties Retreat coming in April 2026.

Whether you’ve been creating for decades or you’re just picking up the brush again, this episode will remind you: it’s never too late to start—and always worth showing up for.
