Creatives Do Money Podcast Episode #13
Welcome to Creatives Do Money! Each week we explore the topics of everyday money management, solo business ownership, and how we are fueling our creative futures. I’m your host, Eowyn Levene, money mentor, massage therapist, and watermelon enthusiast. And I’m on a mission to help you build the lasting financial stability that frees you up to do your work without hustling anxiously for the next dollar.
I think that there is a lot of guilt associated with that for some creatives that there’s this need to hustle and need to grind and if you have the resources you don’t want to appear to not be the starving artist because there’s a martyrdom in being the starving artist.Clare Marie Edgeman on Creatives Do Money Podcast, Episode 13
