Our guest today is not only an artist, but she is also a financial planner and investment advisor. Christina Empedocles likes to say that she started her artistic career at the worst time possible: in 2008 when the financial world crashed and galleries were closing. These unfortunate events led her to start educating herself on the topic of personal finances and to develop a career advising artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs from all walks of life, on how to build better habits around their personal finances. During this episode, Christina and Catherine discuss how and why artists can start taking control of their finances today.

Conversation Highlights:

• How going into debt to finance your art career can turn to a vicious cycle
• Why it’s not a good idea to drop everything and be a full-time artist at once
• How tracking your expenses can give you confidence and be empowering
• Why your time is your most valuable resource

PLUS: The most forgotten expense - and the number of bank accounts you should have!
