Description

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax Podcast, I introduce my book, Taxes for Humans, a practical, judgment-free tax guide made specifically for creative professionals. I share my personal story and talk honestly about the challenges artists, freelancers, and mission-driven people face when trying to make sense of taxes.

We dig into why taxes matter, how they support the communities we care about, and why building financial literacy is so important, especially for people who've been historically left out of traditional financial conversations. My goal in this episode is to help you feel confident claiming your identity as a business owner and to release some of the fear around money. Wealth isn't a moral test; it's a neutral tool you can use to support your values and make positive change.
