27. Are Early Retirement and Financial Freedom Possible When You’re a Self-Employed Artist?

It’s always helpful to hear different perspectives, especially when it comes to money-related planning for the future.

Hi! I’m Heather Allen, your personal professor of revenue readiness. I help artists and creative business owners to identify and optimize their revenue and income potential. And today I’m bringing a special guest into the classroom today to share a vision for what early retirement can look like. 

Pamela Reed is a certified life coach and financial strategist with a passion for helping others experience abundant wealth. Her journey toward financial freedom began early in her federal government career, where she discovered a deep desire to reclaim her time and live purposefully. Through strategic financial planning and intentional decisions, Pam achieved her goal of retiring early, building a life where work became optional.

Now, she’s on a mission to empower others to skip the trial-and-error approach and create a clear, actionable financial plan that leads to true freedom. Pam believes that financial freedom isn’t just about numbers—it’s about aligning your finances with your values, unlocking your God-given potential, and living with confidence and purpose.

In my interview with Pam, you’ll hear a few unconventional strategies for increasing passive income. Definitions related to financial freedom versus financial independence. Tips for rewriting your money story if it’s not serving you. And two budgeting options to help you get more in touch with your money on a monthly basis.
