Financial wellness is a realm of wellness that I feel gets left out of the conversation so often, and it’s something I am fascinated with as an idea of a way to practice wellness without obsession. As women, it's common to not feel empowered with education about managing our money, and I hope this episode helps you see that you can practice wellness even through creating financial stability and freedom in your life.

Today’s guest is Brooke Tyler Benson, founder of Not Starving Artists, is a Financial Coach, AEA Actor, and Expert Contributor at Backstage Cast. After graduating with a BFA in Acting, she realized how little the arts industry taught and valued financial wellness. Her mission is to arm the creative freelance community with financial literacy through digital resources, group coaching, and a community of other artists striving for financial freedom. She is your financial cheerleader, here to destroy the "Starving Artist" trope and empower you about your own personal finance game. Find her on Instagram at @notstarvingartists and at www.notstarvingartists.com.
