Have you ever wondered why you’re so disciplined about some projects, but so wild and chaotic about others? This week we talk about the balance between inspiration and execution by using the concepts of “math and poetry.” Whether you’re acting, writing, or brainstorming your next big idea, Misha shares mindset shifts and creative rituals to help you engage both the logical and emotional aspects of your process. Both of these polarities are essential for the creative act, and you should walk away with clarity on how to increase both.

 In this episode, we explore how fear of money can hold you back from earning more and how shifting your mindset can help create more flow. Money is an energetic frequency (they call it currency, after all), and to make more of it, you need to increase the quality and/or quantity of people you engage with. Many creatives struggle with visibility, but overcoming that is key to creating more cash flow. A useful exercise is to list 25 separate ways you could earn money right now. This forces you to get creative and start to engage with society in new ways.
