Hi friend,

So many creative lives have a quiet soundtrack running in the background. It sounds like: not enough money, not enough runway, not enough saved to leave, not enough yet to start.

Week 6 of The Artist's Way is about recovering a sense of abundance. And this ended up being one of the most layered conversations we've had so far.

Jess shares what it actually took to decide that what she had saved was enough to leave her job, and how creative opportunities started showing up almost immediately after she made that choice. Jen reflects on leaving tech, traveling with young kids, and learning that security doesn't come from money first. It comes from alignment, and the money tends to follow.

We also get into the harder edge of this. The tension of running creative work that still needs to be sustainable. The hidden costs of staying somewhere "for the money." And what it looks like to let luxury be part of the path rather than the reward you finally allow yourself at the end.

This one will hit if you've been quietly waiting for enough to arrive before you begin.

Jess & Jen
