Not Starving Artists

Welcome to week 3 of the 6-week series ✨The High-Earning Creative: Money Management & Mindset Strategies for Self-Employed Hotties✨   Budgeting wasn't built for creatives. It wasn't built for fluctuating income, or ADHD brains, or any kind of real human life experience with unexpected expenses or busy seasons or a particularly intense week of anxiety. And this is why so many of us have internalized the narrative "I'm just bad with money" when really, you've just been handed the wrong money management tool.   Tune in to hear: Why budgeting is basically the standardized testing of personal finance How tracking every dollar can actually make your money anxiety worse, not better Why a perfect budget on paper falls apart the second real life shows up The connection between diet culture and the way we've been taught to spend less, shrink, cut back What the Money Flow Method is and why it was built specifically for your kind of brain and income   You don't have a discipline problem. You have a system problem. And there's a version of managing your money that doesn't make you want to avoid it forever. This episode is here to show you there's another way that can actually feel simple, spacious, and sexy.     💰Learn more about private coaching with Brooke in 1:1 Money Mentorship💰   CLICK HERE to claim your FREE access to one of the modules inside of Cashed Up Creatives, a financial education course for artists & freelancers 🎉   Follow Brooke on Instagram @notstarvingartists & subscribe to the newsletter here!

Welcome to part two of the six-week series, ✨ The High-Earning Creative: Money Management & Mindset Strategies for Self-Employed Hotties ✨ If you've ever thought "I make too much to still feel this stressed about money," this one's for you. Whether you're tempted to spend everything the moment it comes in, or you're hoarding cash out of guilt and fear, this episode is for you.   Tune in to hear:   💰Why TV and movies have completely lied to you about how rich people actually spend 💰Why making more money will never mean making fewer financial decisions 💰How overspending AND hoarding cash can both come from the exact same scarcity place 💰The only three reasons to ever spend money (and how to use them as a quick gut-check) 💰Why letting yourself indulge is actually a strategic money move   More money doesn't fix the anxiety, the right systems and mindset do. Once you have those? Spending your money starts to feel really, really good.     Learn more about private coaching with Brooke in 1:1 Money Mentorship   CLICK HERE to claim your FREE access to one of the modules inside of Cashed Up Creatives, a financial education course for artists & freelancers 🎉   Follow Brooke on Instagram @notstarvingartists & subscribe to the newsletter here!

In this episode, I'm kicking off a new six-week series, ✨ The High-Earning Creative: Money Management & Mindset Strategies for Self-Employed Hotties ✨   We're starting with the most important money goal that every self-employed creative needs to focus on first: getting three months ahead on bills.   I break down why this specific goal (not debt payoff, not an emergency fund, not maxing out a retirement account) is what actually gets you out of the feast-or-famine cycle by creating lifestyle stability even when your income fluctuates.   You'll learn:   ✅ what "three months ahead" looks like inside your bank accounts & how it's different than a regular savings account ✅ how this calms your nervous system by securing your basic needs ✅ how the money flow method (part of my four-step anti-budget strategy) helps you manage cash flow in one hour a month ✅ six ways being 3 months ahead on bills changes your art, decisions, and life     Learn more about private coaching with Brooke in 1:1 Money Mentorship   CLICK HERE to claim your FREE access to one of the modules inside of Cashed Up Creatives, a financial education course for artists & freelancers 🎉   Follow Brooke on Instagram @notstarvingartists & subscribe to the newsletter here!

Whether you're someone who loves spending hours in excel or you're someone who cringes at the sight of numbered columns, I want you to know that you don't have to spreadsheet your life away. I used to be that 'Spreadsheet Girl,' meticulously tracking every penny like my life depended on it. But what I discovered was that my iron grip on those spreadsheets was actually fueling my financial anxiety, not soothing it. That's why I created the Money Flow Method: a simple, anti-budgeting cash flow system that takes less than an hour a month to manage. This strategy lets you hit your money goals while spending guilt-free (and it was built for fluctuating income!) So to all my fellow artists, creatives, and dreamers out there, remember this: you are not defined by your ability to conquer spreadsheets or budget. Your brain is a gift, and it is not at war with your financial wellness. You just need a money strategy that was built for YOU.     🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   Want to learn more about 1:1 coaching? Click HERE to learn more and book your sales call Follow Brooke on Instagram @notstarvingartists & subscribe to the newsletter here!

In this episode, I sit down with Tia Levings to talk about her experience inside Christian fundamentalist patriarchy and the trad wife movement, and what it really looks like to break free. We get into the realities behind the aesthetic: the loss of financial autonomy, being denied access to money, and living on an allowance that could be taken away or used as punishment. We also talk about what happens after you get out. Tia opens up about learning basic money skills as an adult, navigating shame around debt, unpacking tithing and "should" narratives, and rebuilding trust with herself. This conversation also explores the overlap between religious messaging around suffering and the "starving artist" identity, especially how both can keep people stuck in cycles of instability and under-earning. This is a deep, honest conversation about power, money, identity, and what it really means to belong to yourself. _______________ Tia Levings is the New York Times Bestselling author of "A Well-Trained Wife", her memoir of escape from Christian Patriarchy. She writes about the realities of religious trauma, evangelical patriarchy, and the Trad wife life, decoding the fundamentalist influences in our news and culture. Her work and quotes have appeared in Teen Vogue, Salon, Newsweek, and the HuffingtonPost. She also appeared in the hit Amazon docu-series, Shiny Happy People. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, she is mom to four. https://tialevings.com/ PRE-ORDER Tia's brand new book "I Belong to Me" coming out on May 5, 2026. _______________ Trad is a new play written by Kelly Pekar and directed by/developed with Hannah Ryan (Hamilton, An American in Paris), with an all female creative team (including Tia Levings as the Cultural Consultant and Brooke Benson as the Fiscal Dramaturg).

Do you ever scroll through your feed and suddenly feel completely behind with money, even when nothing in your life has actually changed? That feeling has a name: comparison. And it might be quietly running your entire financial life. In this episode, we're talking about why borrowing other people's money goals is keeping you stuck, stressed, and chasing a finish line that was never meant for you. Your colleague's savings target, your friend's investment strategy, the "rules" you picked up somewhere along the way. None of it matters if it doesn't align with your life, your values, and your version of success. It's time to stop measuring yourself against someone else's ruler. Your money goals should excite you, motivate you, and actually mean something to you. In this episode, we're figuring out how to get you there.   🎉Click here to get the [FINANCES 101] course completely FREE 🎉 You'll learn everything about money that school never taught you, in a digestable non-jargony way, created FOR creatives BY a creative ♥️   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

In this episode, we're talking about travel hacking with credit card points (but not the hyper-optimized version the TikTok travel influencers will sell you).   Instead of asking, "How do I get the absolute maximum cents-per-point value?", here's the questions we're diving into:   💰How can I use points to support my cash flow?   💰How can I fund the trips I actually want?   💰How can I stay spontaneous without overextending my bank accounts?   I'm sharing how I used points for a last-minute San Francisco trip, why sometimes the smartest redemption is the one that preserves your savings, and how to avoid hoarding points out of guilt or scarcity.   If you want to start travel hacking in a way that feels strategic but not stressful, this episode will help you use credit card points as a tool to create freedom, flexibility, and more trips each year without going into debt.   Here is the link to the episode mentioned about lazy girl travel hacking: Travel Hacking at Every Level (and how to do it the lazy girl way) - EP. 37 Apple + Spotify     🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.

Most of us were conditioned to manage money using systems that were never designed for our lives, especially if you're a creative, freelancer, or multi-hyphenate human with fluctuating income. These traditional frameworks might look responsible on paper, but they can actually keep you stuck, frustrated, and convinced that something's wrong with you.   In this episode, I break down how deeply ingrained money systems can quietly run your financial life in the background, even if you think you don't have one. From the "spend as little as possible" mindset to the "if I could just stick to a budget" trap, I'll show you how these invisible operating systems can create financial dissonance and guilt.   We'll talk about why you're not failing, it's that the system doesn't fit you. Just like realizing a yoga pose isn't working because your body is literally built differently, your money setup might be fighting against your natural rhythm, lifestyle, or career structure.   I'll walk you through what it looks like to build your own financial practice instead: one that's experimental, personalized, and actually sustainable. Think of it less like "paint by numbers" and more like a guided wine-and-design night where you get to make it your own.   If you're ready to stop contorting yourself to fit systems that don't serve you and start crafting one that does, this episode is your permission slip.   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

Let's be honest, sometimes the job that pays your bills starts to feel like it's choking out your artistic soul. In this episode, I'm breaking down five ways to reignite your artistic life without quitting your job or spiraling into burnout.   Because here's the truth: you'll either be stressed that your job is draining you, or stressed about money if you quit. And only one of those problems is fixable while keeping your financial safety intact.   Tune in to hear: How to stop letting your day job take up mental space it doesn't deserve What your real dream artist schedule looks like (and how to start building it right now) Why managing your paycheck like a CEO actually makes you more creative The underrated power of a media detox How to create empty space that invites long-term solutions for how you make income   The shift happens when you stop seeing your job as the problem and start seeing it as the stability that gives your art room to breathe. You're still the artist, the job is just the funding. Treat it like your investor and keep creating.   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

I'm breaking down the real reason your fluctuating income isn't the problem, it's how you organize it.   I'll walk you through the concept of getting one month ahead on your bills and why it's the key to feeling grounded, creative, and in control even when your income ebbs and flows. This simple shift changed everything for me.   We'll also talk about what happens when you get way ahead, like three or six months, and still catch yourself spiraling into scarcity. (Been there. Recently.) I'll share how I had to coach myself through using my buffer for the first time in ages, and how to remind yourself that safety isn't about never having a low month.   In this episode, I'll cover: Why "one month ahead" is the magic safety net for creatives How to stop freaking out when your income dips Why your mindset still matters, even when the math checks out   If you're ready to feel safe and steady with your money, without needing a 9–5 or a trust fund, this episode will show you exactly where to start.     🎉  Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

In this episode, I'm walking you through what an LLC is, who should get one, how tax deductions work, how to separate your personal finances from your artistic career, and how to make tracking all this as simple as possible. And then we're gonna talk about how understanding the fiancnes of your artistic career actually gives you more power & autonomy. You don't always have to be "profiting" as an artist for it to be worth it. But you do need to understand your numbers so you can make sure your artistic career is sustainable for the long term (I want you doing your art well into your 90s!!!!)   Disclaimer: The information provided is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute tax or legal advice.

Millennials and Gen Z are caught in a constant battle between "live your best life" and feeling guilt over every swipe of your card. Whether it's bottomless brunch, concert tickets, skincare hauls, or another weekend trip you "deserve", there's a low-key financial identity crisis happening under the surface.   In this episode, we're unpacking how to tell yourself "no" in a way that's not rooted in shame, lack, or self-punishment, but grounded in clarity and autonomy.   Tune in to hear:   💰Why every "yes" you make with your money already contains a "no" (and why that's not a bad thing)   💰How to stop treating responsible spending like punishment   💰The Sylvia Plath fig tree metaphor that will haunt you (and maybe shift your entire view of decision-making)   💰How to recover from the "f**k it blackout" spending spiral   💰What to ask yourself before any purchase   You can't build financial peace from a place of self-attack. You can't get to your "yes life" by constantly punishing yourself with nos. Let's shift that narrative.   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

If you've ever avoided taking on a 9-to-5, starting a business, or working more hours because you're terrified it'll kill your creative drive, you're not alone.   This fear of "selling out" is rampant in artistic communities, and in this episode, we're calling it out and solving for it.   We'll reverse engineer a path that protects your creative time and builds a money-making life that actually fuels your artistry, not drains it.   Because here's the truth: even full-time artists aren't doing their craft 40 hours a week. Good art requires real life. And real life includes income.   Tune in to hear:   ✨Why waiting for "free time" to feel motivated creatively doesn't work   ✨How to be honest about your screen time and create space for art anyway   ✨Why scheduling your creative time first unlocks total freedom   ✨How more money can actually increase your creative capacity   ✨What my calendar looks like now (and how I make sure I never miss an audition)   If you've ever said, "I just won't have the energy for my art if I take on more work," this episode will challenge that belief and help you build a life that supports both your artistic practice and your bank account.   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!

In this episode, I'm catching up with past client Camron Alexander, a multi-hyphenate theatre artist living here in NYC. We're diving into his personal financial wellness journey, and what took him from starving artist to financially confident.   Tune in to hear:   ✨ How getting 3 months ahead on bills supported him when he was abruptly let go from his day job ✨ How he made an extra $500 in one month ✨ How he fundraised $30k to produce and direct a play he's passionate about ✨ The mindset shifts that were pivotal releasing money anxiety (and the one tool he keeps coming back to)   And so much more!!!   Camron Alexander (he/him) is a queer multi-hyphenate theatre maker. He is most passionate about stories muddling through the messy, grey areas of what it is to be human- classical theatre and contemporary queer new works. Training:  Alley Theatre (Houston Young Playwright Exchange), University of Houston (BFA - Acting). Producing/Adaptation/Directing:  Rec Room Arts (A Midsummer Night's Dream, Hedda Gabler.)   Camron is making his NYC producing and directorial debut on Angry Fags by Topher Payne, coming to TheaterLab this August. He can't wait to see you there! When not living his multi-hyphenate dreams, you can find him caffeinating at a cafe, picnicking in the park with friends, or slinging drinks in Hell's Kitchen. @camronrossalexander @angryf_gs   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.

Nobody wants to spend summer hunched over spreadsheets and saying no to spending money on brunch and margs. And the good news is, you don't have to.   In this episode, we're rewriting the narrative around summer spending and financial progress. You can sip spicy margs, take weekend getaways, and still get three months ahead on bills. It's not about restriction. It's about intention.   If you've ever felt like the only way to save money is to cancel joy, this one's for you. I'm walking you through my 321 Summer Fun Protocol, a simple framework to help you build savings, pay off debt, or invest for the future, without quitting iced coffee, cutting trips, or ghosting your social life.   In this episode, you'll learn:   ✨ How to pick one powerful money goal and make real progress by fall ✨Why prioritizing just two fun things this summer will actually reduce your overspending while increasing your joy ✨ How monthly check-ins (aka CEO parties) give you more freedom, not more rules ✨ Real examples of clients who vacationed, shopped, and hosted parties…while hitting big financial goals ✨ How to build a summer money plan that aligns with your lifestyle, not some spreadsheet fantasy ✨ Why the "fuck-it blackout" spending spiral happens, and exactly how to avoid it   This isn't about saying no. It's about choosing the right yeses and designing a system that lets you feel free and grounded at the same time.   🎉 Click here to join CASHED UP CREATIVES 🎉 It's my new online course with all the financial education you were never given it school, helping artists (and anyone else who doesn't want to budget) get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and become the confident financial CEO of their life & career.   If you loved this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend!
