In this episode, I reflect on my 48-hour project experiment—what I learned, what I didn’t complete, and why that’s perfectly okay. I dive into a deeper exploration of my mindset around money, creativity, and abundance, questioning long-held beliefs about what it means to earn through creative work. Why do we limit ourselves with the idea that making money has to be hard? What if we could align with what we love and still receive financial abundance?

Through this conversation, I challenge the traditional notion of “working hard” and explore how true passion often makes effort feel like play. I also touch on the concept of money as energy and the value we assign to our own talents. If we shift our perspective, could we unlock more opportunities and financial flow?

Join me in this raw, unfiltered reflection—because these thoughts are worth pondering.

🌟 Key Takeaways:

• It’s okay if plans don’t go exactly as expected. The process itself is valuable.

• Many of us struggle with selling because we stay in the “planning” stage.

• Questioning our money mindset is important: Do our beliefs support abundance or limit us?

• The idea of the “starving artist” is just that—an idea. Many creatives thrive financially.

• Money is subjective. What one person deems valuable, another might not—so we must align with the right audience.

• Working hard isn’t about force—it’s a byproduct of loving what we do.

• It’s worth asking: What if making money could be easy and aligned with joy?

🔥 Suggested Next Steps:

• Reflect on your own beliefs about money and creativity. Are they serving you?

• Experiment with creating and selling something without over-planning.

• Try shifting your mindset: What if wealth and creativity could coexist effortlessly?
