💡 Show Notes


In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest challenges creative entrepreneurs face: how to balance your own creative practice with the demands of running a business. If you’ve ever felt like your art is getting crowded out by admin tasks, launches, or endless to-dos, this conversation is for you. I share my personal journey, the lessons I’ve learned (and am still learning!), and four practical strategies that help me nurture both sides of my creative business.


📝 In This Episode You’ll Learn




  • Why balancing creativity and business feels hard (and why it’s not your fault!)




  • How to protect your creative time and make space for what matters most




  • The power of batching tasks to create more efficiency




  • Why keeping your systems simple gives you more time for art




  • How setting clear boundaries helps you stay focused on your biggest goals




  • A behind-the-scenes look at how I structure my week

💬 Reflection Prompts


1️⃣ Where do you feel most drained in your business right now?
2️⃣ What creative activity brings you the most joy—and are you making time for it?
3️⃣ What small change can you make this week to protect space for your creativity?


💖 Final Thought


Your business exists to support your art, not to overshadow it. You don’t have to choose between being an artist and an entrepreneur. You can be both and thrive. Because it’s never too late to create.
