In this episode, Kayley answers 10 questions about her job, submitted by a university student at Mount St Vincent.

"You realize that no one really cares other than you. Everybody else is caught up in their own things, so even if your business were to flop or fail, it feels all-consuming in the moment… But as you get older you realize that what's all-consuming to you, is a blip to someone else."

In this episode, I'm taking you way back to when I was 18 on tumblr. I started a One Direction ship account that grew by 10,000 followers over the summer and led me to writing fanfiction for hundreds of submissions. Somehow, that anonymous blog years ago led me to revisiting fanfic as self-care during quarantine in 2020...

Freelancers, influencers, and others in creative industries are often underpaid - or not paid at all - in exchange for "experience" and "exposure." As these industries grow, it's so important to learn our own value, and start saying "no" to projects and collaborations that don't match the time we're putting in, let alone the value of our audience and work.

Financial wellbeing is a key pillar in self-care. In today's episode we discuss:

- why brands get away with not paying content creators

- when it's okay to say yes to unpaid work

- storytime: exposing Revolve

- the importance of rate transparency in creative industries

- addressing the wage gap, and why women need to be comfortable stating and negotiating our own worth
