Welcome back to another Mindset Mini - our bite-sized episodes designed to help you overcome the most common mindset struggles we see in the artist community. In this episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest blocks that hold artists back from building successful and sustainable art businesses: your money story. If you’ve ever felt weird about charging for your work, cringed at money affirmations, or believed deep down that being “good with money” just isn’t your thing - this episode is for you. Laura and Ros unpack why your relationship with money matters, especially as an artist and creative entrepreneur. If your goal is to turn your passion into profit and use your creative gifts to do good in the world, re-shaping your relationship with money can be a powerful step to take. Then your money can become a tool for impact - not something to feel guilty or ashamed about. You’ll learn: Why awareness is the first step to rewriting your money story Affirmations to start shifting your subconscious beliefs Online tools and resources they both have used to work at a deeper level How to practically build money confidence (support systems that keep you empowered - not overwhelmed) The difference between discounting from fear vs. pricing from worth Why selling your art is really about serving others with your creativity Ros and Laura also share how to create a more positive relationship with money, shift your focus to service, and step into the identity of a thriving artist who gets paid well for their talents. Tune in to hear this inspiring episode where we help you shift your inner beliefs and take empowered action to rewrite your money story as an artist - one confident step at a time.   Resources: Waitlist for Laura’s 2026 Art Retreat: https://laura-jane-day.myflodesk.com/retreatwaitlist Ros’ free Facebook group for artists: https://www.facebook.com/groups/permissiontopaintfreecommunity Ros’ Audience Attraction Workshop 19th May 2025 - Check out her IG for all the deets! @rosgervayart Episode Sponsors: Laura Day https://www.laurajaneday.com  Ros Gervay https://www.permissiontopaint.co Stay Connected: Want more tips, resources, and support?  Sign up for: Laura’s Newsletter: https://laura-jane-day.myflodesk.com/studio-news Ros’ Newsletter: https://www.permissiontopaint.co/site/contact Find us on socials here:  Laura’s Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/laurajaneday/ Ros’ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosgervayart Reach out to us via Instagram DM for questions, feedback, or collaboration opportunities.
