In this episode, I'm walking you through what an LLC is, who should get one, how tax deductions work, how to separate your personal finances from your artistic career, and how to make tracking all this as simple as possible.

And then we're gonna talk about how understanding the fiancnes of your artistic career actually gives you more power & autonomy.

You don't always have to be "profiting" as an artist for it to be worth it.

But you do need to understand your numbers so you can make sure your artistic career is sustainable for the long term (I want you doing your art well into your 90s!!!!)

Welcome to another installment of my podcast series, INSIDE 1:1 COACHING, where I'm giving you an inside look on what a private money coaching call is actually like, how money gets talked about behind closed doors, and how much can change in your finances with just 30 minutes of time.

These episodes are real 1:1 coaching calls, some with current/past clients and some are people I've never coached before (everyone has given permission for these calls to be shared with you here).

1:1 coaching is for creatives, business owners, and those of you whose brains have a hard time following traditional money advice. You'll get personalized strategy and support to help you understand your numbers without a spreadsheet, fully fund your savings, invest your first $1000, spend money guilt free, and finally build a relationship with money that feels easy and supportive.

In this episode, I'm giving you the ONE reason why you haven't been able to just eat what you have at home, and how you can start getting excited about non-takeout food literally this week.

And then I'm giving you a sermon about how being on a financial wellness journey is the biggest practice of self-love you could undertake, and how to actually shift into the financial habits and routines that you desire.

TLDR: Who you are isn't at war with your money, you just aren't asking the right questions.

Millennials and Gen Z are caught in a constant battle between "live your best life" and feeling guilt over every swipe of your card. Whether it's bottomless brunch, concert tickets, skincare hauls, or another weekend trip you "deserve", there's a low-key financial identity crisis happening under the surface.

In this episode, we're unpacking how to tell yourself "no" in a way that's not rooted in shame, lack, or self-punishment, but grounded in clarity and autonomy.

Tune in to hear:

💰Why every "yes" you make with your money already contains a "no" (and why that's not a bad thing)

💰How to stop treating responsible spending like punishment

💰The Sylvia Plath fig tree metaphor that will haunt you (and maybe shift your entire view of decision-making)

💰How to recover from the "f**k it blackout" spending spiral

💰What to ask yourself before any purchase

You can't build financial peace from a place of self-attack. You can't get to your "yes life" by constantly punishing yourself with nos. Let's shift that narrative.

If you've ever avoided taking on a 9-to-5, starting a business, or working more hours because you're terrified it'll kill your creative drive, you're not alone.

This fear of "selling out" is rampant in artistic communities, and in this episode, we're calling it out and solving for it.

We'll reverse engineer a path that protects your creative time and builds a money-making life that actually fuels your artistry, not drains it.

Because here's the truth: even full-time artists aren't doing their craft 40 hours a week. Good art requires real life. And real life includes income.

Tune in to hear:

✨Why waiting for "free time" to feel motivated creatively doesn't work

✨How to be honest about your screen time and create space for art anyway

✨Why scheduling your creative time first unlocks total freedom

✨How more money can actually increase your creative capacity

✨What my calendar looks like now (and how I make sure I never miss an audition)

If you've ever said, "I just won't have the energy for my art if I take on more work," this episode will challenge that belief and help you build a life that supports both your artistic practice and your bank account.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with one of my current clients Kirsten Roldan, a 7-figure CEO and business coach who helps people make a lot of money (peacefully) without burning out.

Tune in to hear:

💰how she paid off 6-figures of tax debt in 6 months

💰the one mindset shift that completely changed her relationship with spending so that she was able to save/invest more

💰how she was able to take an unexpected 6 week medical leave without going broke

💰how she paid off all her credit card debt with ease

💰why she chose to sell her house at a loss (and what she had in place to be able to do that financially)

You can find Kirsten on IG @kirstenroldan and learn more about her programs like the Burnout Detox at the link in her bio, along with links to her YouTube channel and exclusive email list.

Join me for this exclusive replay of a recent workshop I hosted with my favorite business banking platform Novo!

Money is not just a math equation; if it was, I could give everyone the perfect budgeting spreadsheet and nobody would ever have a money problem again. But emotions, traumas, and societal conditioning get wrapped up in our financial decisions, meaning that your money strategy needs to include mindset work too.

In this workshop, I'm going to teach you how to uncover (and breakthrough) each of the 3 biggest money mindset blocks so you can hit your next money goal with ease.
