This week on the Creatives Do Money Podcast, Episode #34
My guest today is Nicole Antoinette. She is a writer, recovering self-help junkie, retreat & mastermind group facilitator, and the host of the wonderful Real Talk Radio podcast.
And over time, Nicole has crafted a business that supports her and helps her to enact her values, and to create a world she wants to see, on a tiny microcosm level, as she puts it. She’s also very open about her finances and how she handles money, and I’m excited to share this conversation.
