Manage episode 485175466 series 3545058
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.
