  • 5 Money Mindset Shifts Every Artist Needs

    🔥 What if the stories we’ve been told about money and art are keeping us broke?

    In this episode of Your Art is a Spell, I’m breaking down 5 transformative money mindset shifts every artist needs to break free from financial struggle.

    So many artists are taught that making money means selling out… that art and business can’t mix… that struggling is a badge of honor. But what if those beliefs are the real barriers to sustainability and freedom?

    From my days working minimum wage in a call center to building a sustainable, creative career, I’m sharing the exact mindset shifts that helped me stop struggling financially, without compromising my values or my art.

    We’ll explore:
    💥 The myth of “fixed resources” and how artists can create new possibilities
    💥 Why “art vs. business” is a false binary (and why embracing both creates freedom)
    💥 How to stop waiting passively and start positioning yourself strategically
    💥 Why community abundance beats independent struggle
    💥 How to move from fear of asking to confidence in your value

    ✨ Because thriving artists make freer art. And freer art builds new worlds.

  • How Punk Damage F*cks Up Our Movements (And Our Money)

    What if the way we resist capitalism is actually keeping us broke? In this episode, I dive deep into "punk damage" - that voice telling you making money equals selling out - and how it accidentally reinforces the very systems we're trying to dismantle.

    So many of you requested this topic in the comments, and I'm finally addressing the uncomfortable truth about how anti-capitalist shame can reinforce oppression. From my days squatting with queer anarchists in England to my journey as a financially stable changemaker, I'm sharing the exact mindset shifts that helped me heal without compromising my values.

    We'll explore:
    • Why rejecting money entirely can backfire for marginalized creators
    • How financial precarity often reinforces privilege (and who can actually afford to work for free)
    • The false binary between "pure but broke" and "successful but sellout"
    • Practical steps to become a resourced, rested revolutionary

    Remember: The world doesn't need more broke, burnt-out activists – it needs resourced visionaries like YOU.

    00:02 - 00:10 Intro: Resisting capitalism?
    00:10 - 00:19 Rejecting money's role in change
    00:19 - 00:27 Understanding punk damage concept
    00:27 - 00:36 My journey from broke to stable

    04:22 - 04:31 Realizing the system's design against us
    05:15 - 05:24 Rejecting money keeps us broke
    06:32 - 06:41 Healing punk damage for diverse movements
    08:00 - 08:08 Redefining success beyond values
    09:11 - 09:18 Building collective power through resources
    10:25 - 10:33 Making sustainability part of liberation

  • The System Keeps Artists Broke—Here’s How to Break Free

    Have you ever felt like the system was deliberately keeping you broke? Like your creativity was being celebrated—but never compensated?

    What if the lack of financial education for artists isn’t an oversight… but a spell cast to keep us disempowered?

    In this no-holds-barred episode of Your Art is a Spell, we break the silence around the hidden forces keeping creatives financially illiterate—and how to finally break free.

    Tune in to discover:

    💸 Why art schools don’t teach financial literacy (spoiler: it’s not an accident)
    📉 How systemic disempowerment keeps queer, trans, and BIPOC artists struggling
    🧾 The contract trick institutions use to kill your negotiating power
    🔮 Why managing money is actually a creative, magical act
    🔥 How to build financial resilience without selling your soul
    ⚔️ Tools and tactics for financial self-defense in chaotic times

    Did you know most MFA programs never include one single class on how to make a living as an artist? Or that many therapists-in-training are expected to work for years for free?

    These aren’t isolated incidents—they’re symptoms of a system built to profit from our brilliance while keeping us broke.

    This episode reveals the money myths we’ve inherited, the toxic taboos that silence us, and the practical steps you can take to reclaim your value—on your terms.

    Whether you're just starting your creative journey or deep in your practice and ready to reclaim your power, this is your invitation to treat financial literacy as sacred spellwork.

  • The Magic of Community: Michelle Tea on Writing, Witchcraft & Creating Artistic Spaces

    Can you turn words into spells that conjure real community? Michelle Tea has been doing it for decades—and she's ready to share her secrets.

    Have you ever felt like your writing was more than just words on a page? Like it could actually summon people, create connections, and build worlds? What if the stories you tell could literally manifest the community you've been searching for?

Michelle shares her journey from DIY zines to founding a publishing house, always with an eye toward creating space for voices that need to be heard.

  • Nonlinear Psychic Collaboration: Quantum Consciousness, Telepathy, Time Travel, and UFOs

    Have you ever created something and felt like you weren't entirely alone in the process? Had an artistic breakthrough that seemed to come from somewhere beyond yourself? What if your creativity isn't just happening here and now but is connecting across dimensions?

    Most of us have been taught that art is simply self-expression – a one-way street from artist to audience. But what if it's a cosmic conversation outside the bounds of time and space?

    In this mind-bending episode of "Your Art is a Spell," we explore how your creative practice might be tapping into something far more magical than we've been led to believe.


    Tune in to discover:

    • 🧠 Why Western materialism is sabotaging your creative potential
    • ⚛️ How quantum physics is finally catching up to ancient wisdom
    • 👽 The bizarre UFO synchronicity that happened between two artists who'd never met
    • 🛸 What Pentagon research reveals about our limited understanding of reality
    • 🌈 Why queer, trans, and BIPOC perspectives hold special keys to psychic collaboration
    • 🔮 How to consciously connect with your future self through your art

    Did you know the US government spent millions on psychic research through Project Stargate? Or have scientists found compelling evidence for precognition? The boundaries of what's "real" are far more permeable than most have been taught.

    This episode reveals how to harness nonlinear psychic collaboration – the ability to co-create across time, space, and dimensions – to infuse your art with transformative power far beyond conventional limitations.

    Whether you're looking to heal your past, manifest your future, or simply tap into deeper wells of creativity, this episode offers practical techniques for turning your art into a reality-bending spell.

In this episode, Eva shares her journey from hiding her artistic passions from her immigrant parents to creating a groundbreaking nonprofit space for experimental artists in Los Angeles.

    Eva discusses her transformation from supporting other artists to reclaiming her own creative practice, the challenges of running a DIY arts organization, and her upcoming solo exhibition "Vino de Sangre" at the Vincent Price Art Museum (opening April 26, 2025). Discover how ancestral connections, divine timing, and overcoming fear have shaped Eva's path as she explores the 500-year history of colonization through the lens of wine production.

  • How I got my dream job as a multi-passionate artist

    Your Art Is A Spell 
    Season 1 Episode 4

    Ever feel trapped in a job that drains your soul instead of feeding it? Dreaming of a career where your many passions can coexist instead of competing with each other?

    You're not alone. So many of us bounce between different interests, never quite finding that perfect role that embraces all of who we are.

    Meet Edgar Fabián Frías – artist, witch, educator, and therapist who didn't just find their dream job... they created it. Their journey from collecting cans to becoming a celebrated multi-passionate creator wasn't a straight line – and that's exactly what makes their story so powerful.

    Tune in to discover:

    • 🛑 Why conventional career paths might be sabotaging your happiness
    • 🗑️ The surprising connection between dumpster diving and professional success
    • ✨ How a pivotal intuitive reading changed everything
    • 🧩 Why your "random" jobs aren't random at all
    • 🌈 The "both/and" mindset that breaks career limitations
    • 🚀 When working part-time can actually accelerate your dreams

    Edgar's journey teaches us that our dream careers don't have to make sense to anyone else. From call centers to counseling centers, from gallery assistant to full-time artist, their path proves that each experience – even the painful ones – can become an essential ingredient in your unique career magic.

    Ready to stop forcing yourself into someone else's definition of success? Learn how to trust your dots, follow your intuition, and create a career that's as multifaceted as you are.

    Check out the full episode of "Your Art Is a Spell" to hear Edgar's complete story and discover how you too can transform your winding path into your dream career!
