Ever feel like money just comes in and goes straight back out—like no matter what you do, you’re stuck? I’ve been there. I used to think that hitting a certain financial goal would change everything. But when I finally reached it, I realised… nothing really changed. That’s when I started to rethink my whole mindset around money and abundance. In this episode, I’m sharing the two biggest shifts that have helped me move from scarcity to clarity—simple steps that can change the way you approach money and open up new possibilities.

E184 | Are you being brainwashed?
Last week, I found myself scrolling through social media—something I don’t do often—and within minutes, I was bombarded with conflicting opinions. One post told me I should be making art every day. Another said galleries were a waste of time. Someone else had a completely different take on pricing. It was a flood of “you should do this” and “you must do that.” And suddenly, I started questioning everything. That’s when I realised: this is exactly how we lose touch with ourselves. The sheer volume of information out there can cloud our judgment, pull us in different directions, and make us doubt what we already know deep down. So today, I want to talk about how we can navigate this world of constant input while staying true to ourselves—how to filter through the noise, avoid overwhelm, and reconnect with our own intuition.

E181 - Panicked and Slipping—A Ski Fall That Showed Me the Power of One Simple Step
Last week, I fell on a steep mountain of snow and got stuck. I was skiing and took a tumble that then led me to realise that in life, when we are faced with a challenge we can often choose actions that feel right but we are doing them because we are in a state of desperation of panic. Especially true when it comes to making money and selling art. We can find ourselves trying all sorts of things because we feel we have to.. Perfecting a website Getting into a gallery Winning an award We can go down roads that just aren’t right and even worse is when things don’t work, we then escalate the thoughts into panic. What if I lose all my money? What if I never make it as an artist and all if this wastes my time? I was stuck on a mountain having the same thoughts, and I share the power of a tiny action that is usually staring us in the face but we are focusing on all the wrong things, so can’t see it!
