Financial Confidence for Creatives: How to Stop Surviving and Start Building | ft. Bayleigh Laster

What if financial literacy was the missing key to unlocking your creativity?

In this heartfelt and high-impact episode of The Developing Life Podcast, we sit down with Bayleigh Laster—licensed occupational therapist turned financial educator—to explore how money mindset shapes our identity, work, and freedom.

·

Bayleigh shares her powerful transition from healthcare to financial mentorship after seeing how one medical event could devastate a family. She breaks down emotional barriers, busts myths around the “starving artist,” and teaches why treating yourself as an asset is the most radical creative move you can make.

·

We unpack:
 ✅ Why financial education is missing from our upbringing
 ✅ How to build an emergency fund with intention
 ✅ The Rule of 72 (and why it matters)
 ✅ Real-world strategies to stop reacting and start planning
 ✅ How shame blocks financial progress—and how to release it
 ✅ Replacing fear with future-focused clarity

If you’re a creative, freelancer, or independent thinker struggling with financial insecurity, this episode is your permission slip to feel empowered.
