S2 Ep #44 Financial Empowerment For Showbiz Pros- with Actor + Financial Educator, Miata Edoga

Staying up late worrying about your finances and wondering how to make the numbers work? You're not alone, friend! This episode is Exactly what you need to hear to start feeling less overwhelmed and more empowered.

Today, I’m talking with Miata Edoga, Actor, CEO, and founder of Abundance Bound, a financial education company dedicated to giving artists, entrepreneurs, and non-traditional earners the money skills they need to sustain a creative career over a lifetime. Over the past two decades, the Financial Empowerment Program she developed has provided 1000s of creatives with ongoing support and a specific step-by-step process to improve their financial situation- giving them more time, freedom, and energy to focus on their biggest goals and dreams.

Miata has led workshops and seminars on financial empowerment for a wide range of organizations and universities including: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, The Television Academy, The Writers Guild of America, The Directors Guild Foundation, SAG-AFTRA, The Entertainment Community Fund, Yale School of Drama, NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, USC School of Dramatic Arts and Columbia University.

You’ll Learn:  

• How to get clear on what your life *actually* costs  
• Why getting back into the “Power Cycle” brings stability and clarity even when your income is unpredictable  
• What Miata discovered by moving to Panama and what she's loving about her life today

This conversation is packed with real talk and practical steps to make your financial goals more than a dream. Whether you’re starting fresh, starting over, or just trying to figure it all out, Miata’s wisdom will meet you right where you are.

Tune in, and prepare to shift your relationship with money no matter what's going on "out there"!
