E187 | How to create an art membership so you get paid every month
Have you ever wondered if it’s actually possible to make a living from your art—without having to be connected, represented, or selling in galleries? Years ago, I had this wild dream. I wanted to make art on my own terms, work from anywhere in the world, be around creatives, and somehow still make a living. At the time, it felt completely absurd. But then I discovered this whole world I didn’t even know existed—a way to take what you know, love and do… and turn it into recurring income every month. And that’s what we’re talking about in today’s episode. I’m joined by someone who has been a huge part of my journey—Stu McLaren. He’s helped thousands of people, including artists, turn their passions into sustainable memberships—some of them bringing in tens of thousands, even millions. This one’s packed with inspiration, real-life stories, and the kind of encouragement we all need sometimes to dream a bit bigger. Thinking about starting your own membership?

E186 | How to earn money every month from your creativity
What if you could earn money every single month from your creativity—without burning out or compromising what you love? For years, I thought being an artist meant selling work in bursts, hoping each month would be enough. But everything changed when I discovered the power of a membership site. In this episode, I’m sharing how I built a membership that fits around my life, why it’s been a total game changer—and how you could do something similar in your own way.

E185 | 2 steps to abundance
Ever feel like money just comes in and goes straight back out—like no matter what you do, you’re stuck? I’ve been there. I used to think that hitting a certain financial goal would change everything. But when I finally reached it, I realised… nothing really changed. That’s when I started to rethink my whole mindset around money and abundance. In this episode, I’m sharing the two biggest shifts that have helped me move from scarcity to clarity—simple steps that can change the way you approach money and open up new possibilities.

E184 | Are you being brainwashed?
Last week, I found myself scrolling through social media—something I don’t do often—and within minutes, I was bombarded with conflicting opinions. One post told me I should be making art every day. Another said galleries were a waste of time. Someone else had a completely different take on pricing. It was a flood of “you should do this” and “you must do that.” And suddenly, I started questioning everything. That’s when I realised: this is exactly how we lose touch with ourselves. The sheer volume of information out there can cloud our judgment, pull us in different directions, and make us doubt what we already know deep down. So today, I want to talk about how we can navigate this world of constant input while staying true to ourselves—how to filter through the noise, avoid overwhelm, and reconnect with our own intuition.
