Summary My first guest this season is Bari Tessler, author of The Art of Money, The Art of Money Workbook, and the creator of the year long Art of Money School. She has been my money mentor since I met her over 20 years ago. I knew she had to be our first guest for this season because she was the first guest ever on this show, and has generously brought the art of money into all of our conversations. In this episode, we look at money beliefs creatives hold about themselves and how we can change these stories when they no longer fit. I know you're going to love hearing from Bari Tessler and I can’t wait to hear your epiphanies! Topics * The disconnects that Bari has seen with her creative clients between setting fees and covering their personal and business/creative expenses * Understanding the lifelong relationship you have with money * How Bari believes we can merge our creativity with your business savvy * The different practices and rituals that can help us engage with money as a creative force * Dismantling the belief that enjoying what you're doing means you’re not allowed to make money (we also explore the idea of “selling out”!) * Allowing your business model to change to fit your current circumstances and needs * The calm and clarity that can come from renaming expense categories * New ways to connect to your work and make money as a writer Connect with Bari * The Art of Money * Website * Instagram: @baritessler * LinkedIn Get full access to Book Alchemy at www.book-alchemy.com/subscribe
