Are your finances feeling like a creative mess?

You are an incredibly talented artist, content creator, or performer. Your creative work brings you joy, meaning, and, best of all, you can actually live off of it. But when it comes to managing your finances, it feels like a chaotic mess you cannot seem to get a handle on: receipts lost or stuffed in drawers, unpredictable income, no clear plan for future goals such as retirement, and the looming fear of tax season. Sound familiar?

Many artists, creatives, and entertainers struggle to get an overview of their financial situation, but you don’t have to do it alone. As a financial coach specializing in organizing finances for creatives, I am here to help.

Why do creatives struggle with finances?

Managing money is not easy for anyone, but as a creative professional, your financial situation comes with unique challenges:

1. Irregular income. Big paychecks from gigs or commissions one month, followed by quieter months with little or no income.

2. Lack of time or interest. Your energy goes into your art, that’s what you love. The thought of spreadsheets and budgeting can feel overwhelming and dull. (Spoiler alert: That’s why we use systems like “buckets” instead of traditional budgets.)

3. Emotional attachments. Whether it is guilt for spending, fear of not earning enough, or complete avoidance, money can bring up a lot of emotions.

4. No clear plan. Without a system in place, it is easy to lose track of where your money goes or how to save for the future.

How a financial coach can help you organize your finances

Think of me as the Marie Kondo of your personal finances. Just as Marie Kondo helps people declutter their homes, I help you bring order and clarity to your financial life.

Here’s how we will work together:
We focus on behavioral finance by exploring your relationship with money, your money believes and the money story you grew up with. Understanding this will help you to detect any self-sabotage you might be unaware of and to build healthier habits around your finances.

Together, we organize your finances. First, we draw a “what is” picture, then we determine your values, goals and needs. I help you to categorize and understand your income, expenses, and financial priorities. Then, we create systems that fit your lifestyle and values.

I specialize in creating strategies tailored to freelancers and small business owners with irregular income, helping you manage your cash flow, financial priorities, and plan for the future in a way that aligns with your lifestyle goals, and values.

How you will benefit from working together

Imagine opening your financial accounts and seeing clear categories, realistic goals, and the confidence that you are prepared for both your next project and your long-term future. Here is how you will benefit in particular:

1. Gain clarity and control. No more wondering, “where did all my money go?” I will help you see the full picture of your finances, so you know exactly what is coming in and going out.

2. Reduce stress. Money stress is real, but it does not have to control you. By organizing your finances, you can stop worrying about missed bills, tax surprises, and those quiet months without income.

3. Focus on what you love. Studies show that worrying about money negatively impacts mental health. When your finances are in order, you will have more time and energy to focus on your art and creativity.

4. Prepare for the future. From saving for retirement to planning for big life events, I will help you build a solid financial foundation for your future.

Take control of your financial future

Getting your finances in order is not just practical, it is empowering. As a creative, you bring incredible value to the world, and you deserve the support to manage your money effectively.

Just like no one would tackle a major film project without a director, you should not have to navigate your finances alone. If you are ready to bring order to the chaos and create a system that works for you, I am here to help.
