🔥 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.
