Fresh start, feeling fine?

Happy New Year, Creative!

I just love a fresh start, don't you?

It can be a time of restart.

Or a time of restore.

Or a time of refresh.

Which version of this year are you leaning into?

I usually toggle between the three with a fair dose of review thrown in for good measure!

But I am never one to linger in the past.

I am much more interested in what is happening in the now. (Thank you, morning rituals, you do me right.)

So, let's jump into this moment and re-acquaint our selves, shall we?

Hi, I'm Rhianna Basore, a lifelong creative and money coach for creatives. I love helping creatives live their financial dreams while earning their true worth.

My favorite thing is watching my creatives slay their MONEY MONSTERS and I even wrote a course about it. You can check that out here: How To Slay Your MONEY MONSTERS course.

But it wasn't always so easy.

There was a time not so very long ago,

I too wondered where the next paycheck would come from.....

How I was going to pay my rent when costs kept rising but paychecks didn't...

How I would ever creating stability for myself ~ something I KNEW I needed to move forward in my creative career....

I felt so very alone. Broke and alone.

And even when things seemed good, I felt very lost.

There I was living my dream, performing all around the country, surrounded by loved ones, working on projects I believed in.

But nothing made me feel the way I wanted to feel.

Then it all fell apart.

Yup, you know this story.

My grandfather died. When I was working out of town. And I couldn't afford to fly home for my one day off to be with my family.

The worst.

My grandpa was the emotional center of my family. A jokester, a deep thinker, and the loving patriarch who kept us all feeling safe.

My loose grasp on security broke loose and I floated away.

Into a storm of uncertainty and, frankly, fear.

I doubted that I knew what the next day would bring.

I doubted my ability to take care of myself.

I doubted that I could handle what was coming next.

But I knew there had to be a better way.

I took some time away from my creative career to find what I knew I didn't know.

What I didn't learn in arts school.

What always seemed a given to others but eluded me.

What kept me from earning my true worth as a creative.

• It took time ~ what serious transformation doesn't?
• It took commitment ~ what else did I have to give?
• It took focus ~ what could matter more?

And finally, I found what was holding me back.

In the years since,

I paid off all my credit cards and student loans.

I bought my first house.

I directed my first international feature film.

I created my first web series with my production company.

I became a published author.

I produced and wrote and directed and acted.

I also started coaching. Money coaching. For creatives.

I have evolved into the person who lives the life I always dreamed. It became a personal point of pride to set new money goals for myself and meet them in ever-shorter periods of time.

All because I found the key I was missing all that time...

But more on that next time.

warm wishes & cold cash,

Rhianna
