Hello friends!

It’s the beginning of a new week and I have something important for you to listen to.

I’ve been creative sidehustling for 4 years now and I’m stoked that it’s what Lux and I get to do full time - it has however been challenging and uncertain at times and I want to shed some light on what could have been done to ease that had I been a bit more prepared.

So maybe you are one of the following…

* Dreaming of finally starting some kind of creative side hustle , either for fun or to maybe build into something bigger

* Already side hustling but wondering how to make the leap to full time and sustain yourself

* Tried this path before and it didn’t work out and got you spooked or feeling defeated but you still secretly dream of doing something creative again, even if it’s just to earn some extra income doing what you love.

* Maybe you have zero inclination to do any of these but like me you are nosey and will listen to an hour long podcast on how to get your book published when you don’t even have a solid book idea yet…

If you fall into any of these above categories then today’s episode will be very helpful.

Show Me The Money

So many of us hate talking about money and we also have huge mindset issues when it comes to money - I know I have my own set to deal with.

One thing I touch on today is the power of money and it’s impact on your life as a creative.

This year I have implemented solid strategies to help save more and spend less and when I do spend it’s on things that are of value and add to me as a person. I’m noticing a real shift in our society lately towards low buy trends, anti fast fashion, digital detoxing and just generally trying to take back control of our lives again.

Talking about the subject of money might seem off topic to our usual creativity chats, but if you are feeling the pinch and your life is just passing you by it might be a good time to listen to this episode and really think about what’s holding you back from your dreams and creative pursuits…

So how is money working for you and how is it working against you?

How does it effect your creativity?

Even if this episode makes you change one thing that empowers you financially i’ll be so stoked.

Let me know if you are starting your creative side hustle or you are hoping to start up a studio or YouTube channel soon? I love hearing about peoples goals and I want this podcast to be a place that inspires and offers practical tips for creative people navigating this modern world.

Love Lucy xx
