Liz and Sarah discuss financial wellness with Katy Chen Mazzara, exploring the links between money and creativity.

Liz and Sarah talk to trauma-informed financial wellness coach Katy Chen Mazzara about the connection between money blocks and creative blocks, why it’s never a good idea to negotiate with a “starving artist” mentality, and how making a budget might negatively impact your relationship to your finances.
