In this episode of The Bold Brave Woman Project, I explore the weight of that pressure: how it seeps into our creativity, our identities, and even the ways we measure our own worth.
I share my own wrestle with the belief that every project should lead somewhere “profitable,” and the breakthrough that helped me shift out of paralysis and into flow. This simple but powerful separation has permitted me to follow inspiration without drowning it in scarcity, while still supporting my nervous system with practical choices.
If you’ve ever felt torn between your art, your livelihood, and your soul’s calling, this conversation is here to remind you: you get to be both.
Topics Covered:
- How to release the pressure of monetising your creativity too soon
- The difference between money projects and creative projects (and why both matter)
- Nervous system safety as a foundation for creative flow
- Trusting your path when art, identity, and financial realities collide.
