If your creative income has ever felt steady one month and strangely quiet the next, you’re not alone.

In this episode, Heather unpacks why unpredictable revenue is rarely a talent, discipline, or “business gene” problem — and what’s actually underneath the feast-or-famine cycle so many artists experience.

You’ll learn how to identify structural patterns in your business, recognize when seasonality is at play, and begin thinking more intentionally about your Revenue Mix.

If income has felt fragile or inconsistent lately, this episode will help you step back, breathe, and look at your business with fresh clarity.
