16. Creativity + Business

💡 Show Notes

In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest challenges creative entrepreneurs face: how to balance your own creative practice with the demands of running a business. If you’ve ever felt like your art is getting crowded out by admin tasks, launches, or endless to-dos, this conversation is for you. I share my personal journey, the lessons I’ve learned (and am still learning!), and four practical strategies that help me nurture both sides of my creative business.

• The power of batching tasks to create more efficiency
