from Unleash Your Inner Creative with Lauren LoGrasso (A Creativity Podcast) · host Lauren LoGrasso Productions LLC

What if the story we’ve been telling artists is wrong? What if you don’t actually have to choose between financial stability and the thing you love most?In this episode, I sit down with actor turned entrepreneur Sarah Kleist to talk about the toxic myth of the “starving artist” and why performers are uniquely equipped to build creative businesses that support their art instead of competing with it.Sarah is a musical theater performer living in New York City who also runs a thriving web design and branding business for creatives. She shares how she built financial stability without walking away from her artistic identity and why being multi-passionate is not a weakness, but a strategic advantage.We talk about:-Why the “if you can do anything else, do that instead” advice is harmful-The powerful skills actors and performers already have that businesses are desperate for-How to rewrite your money story as a creative-Why financial stability can make you a better artist, not a worse one-Practical ways to start thinking about what your own creative business could beIf you’ve ever felt like you were failing because you want both meaning and money, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.You don’t have to choose. You can build a life that holds both.🎙️ Connect & Work with Me:If you love this episode and want personalized support to break through creative blocks, build confidence, and finally share your work with the world, I’d love to help.
