What is creative independence?
Creative Independence is the ability to express yourself without the need for approval or external validation. To make the things that YOU want to make on your own terms, without compromise.
Our culture is fixated on financial independence, leading a lot of well-meaning people (like me!) to find themselves trapped working more than ever to build a future where they work less...but what if we just started there?
I believe we pursue financial independence so that we can actually experience creative independence – a life of choice and creative expression.
You can start living a life of creative independence today. And I'm here to help get you started down that path and walk beside you the whole way.
