Artist and tax advisor Hannah Cole knows firsthand how shame can poison an artist's relationship with money. When her dad's accountant asked "When are you gonna get a real job?" instead of helping her understand quarterly taxes, she experienced the dismissal that makes so many artists avoid financial conversations altogether.
In this episode, host Alyson Stanfield and Hannah explore why artists develop allergies to money talk and what it takes to build confidence with your numbers.
Hannah reveals:
- Why "when are you gonna get a real job?" creates a lasting money allergy
- How believing money corrupts prevents you from advocating for fair pay
- Her ritual for making bookkeeping feel like self-care instead of dread
- Why you must have a separate bank account for your art biz
- What losing 20 years of art in a hurricane revealed about capitalism and grief
