If you’ve ever been told that being a creative, lawyer, social worker, therapist, yogi, wellness expert, nutritionist, or some other service-based professional means you have to suck it up, accept whatever client walks in the door no matter how little they want to pay you, and that you're never going to make any money, then you’re in for a spin today, y’all.

This week's episode is all about the basics of working. Have you ever wondered whether it matters to be an employee or an independent contractor? We’re talking about the Basics of Working - as a W2 and a 1099 - and the decisions you need to make surrounding these options. Together, we’ll cover: The difference between being a W2 and a 1099 - from a worker’s perspective and from the business perspective What foundations you need to apply that knowledge And why it’s important that you know the difference For a lot of people, it’s about being unclear about who they are, what they want, and why they want it, and for others, the struggle is that they’ve made a choice, but don’t know how to change their choice. They double down on something that’s NOT working because they think they can’t change their minds - so today, I’m sending reminders and opening your eyes to new ways to consider what's right for you. >>>>  Thanks for listening to this episode of CreativesEd™ - I hope that it was illuminating!

It doesn't matter what you do or where you've worked, you've likely seen or experienced discrimination, harassment, retaliation - or all three. Today's episode helps you identify and gives actionable steps in how to avoid it. Together, we’ll cover: The difference between discrimination and harassment The biggest mistakes people make when handling a discrimination or harassment complaint - whether you’re an employee or a business owner How to set yourself up for success and avoid discrimination and harassment - as a business owner, employee,  and independent contractor Over the years, in my work with clients and students too, I’ve found that there’s some confusion about employment law issues - whether there’s discrimination or harassment, when you can do something about it. And, I have to be honest, it can be super muddy. This is why living, working, and being in integrity matters - and why being clear about who you are, what you want, and why you want it matters. And, that’s also why knowing what you will put up with and what you expect of others is imperative for a clear, profitable, and productive working relationship.  >>>>  Thanks for listening to this episode of CreativesEd™ - I hope that it was illuminating!

This week's episode is the third of four episodes in the conversation in our Basics of Working Series, y’all, and the topic is ethics: ethics in your profession, personally, and what it means to work with someone outside of your profession and why ethics matters.  Together, we’ll cover: What being in a profession really means How walking the line between two professions - as an attorney and a social worker - has led to some very interesting ethical conversations for me How professional ethics differ from personal ethics, and how to set yourself up for success when it comes to ethics in your business and with service providers I'm always surprised at how often people in other professions are shocked at the intensity of ethics rules surrounding both my role as a lawyer and as a social worker. Add to that the fact that I am a Certified Ethics Trainer with the State of Louisiana’s Board of Ethics, and you’d be forgiven if you thought I was an ethics buff. I kind of am, though, let’s be honest. I like rules. 😂 Can't wait to hear what you think! Dive in! >>>>  Thanks for listening to this episode. I hope it was illuminating!

This week’s episode continues our 4-part crash course series on the law! Last time, I introduced you to the law and to the legal systems of the world, and in this episode, we’re talking about why you should forget everything you learned about the law and the legal and justice system on TV.  Because it’s all fake, y’all. And as we know, life isn’t like that.
