Episode 2: Art, Ceremony & Trusting the Process with Julia Rockowitz
On this episode of The Pretty Chill Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Julia Rockowitz, a hand poke tattoo artist and creative force who’s carved her own path—one poke at a time.
We talk about how she left the burnout of high-pressure jobs to build something entirely her own. From greeting cards to ceremony-based tattooing, Julia shares how a pivotal psychedelic journey reshaped her purpose and opened up a whole new way of working with art, healing, and people.
If you’ve ever felt called to create outside the lines—or needed a reminder that your weird, wild path is totally valid—this one’s for you. From doodles to Cosmopolitan features, and even a fun surprise announcement at the end!
