Hot take for your summer hustle: the freelancer mindset is out—CEO energy is in.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in scarcity talk or surrounded by “you can’t do that” noise… it’s time to flip the script.

In this season finale of The Global Actor Podcast, we’re diving into what it really means to run your creative life like a business (without selling your soul). We’re talking:

• Sustainable systems
• 
  
• Conscious capitalism (yes, it can exist)
• 
  
• And how doing this your way actually gives you more time, money, and energy to support the people + causes you care about most.
• 
  

Imperfect endings are still worth celebrating, and this one’s got heart.

Thanks for riding with us this season—we’ll see you after a little summer pause. ☀️

Until then, repeat after me: I’m allowed to build my career my way.

Did you know your relationship with money may be holding you back in your creative career? Yup, you read that right!

This episode is for you if you’re willing to release the scarcity, ditch the "starving artist" myth, and invite more abundance into both your money mindset and your creative career.

In this episode, I’m joined by certified trauma-informed financial wellness coach (and former TV producer - The Bachelor, Better Late Than Never) Katy Chen Mazzara, who shares practical and deeply compassionate wisdom for freelancers, artists, and multi-hyphenates:

🔥 The real origins of the "starving artist" stereotype—and why it doesn’t have to be your reality

🔥 How to overcome money worries and build a financial safety net—without depriving yourself of joy

🔥 Simple tools for shifting your money mindset from survival mode to abundance

🔥 Why your unique authenticity and life experience are your greatest creative (and financial) assets

🔥 How trauma, emotions, and mindset shape our financial lives—and what you can do to heal and grow

🔥 The power of creative community and celebrating wins (with manifesting tips you can actually use!)

Plus, Katy shares resources you can use right away, including emergency fund tips, mindset shifts, and her free Mindful Money Mastery Guide.
