No starving artists here… just Freedom Seekers who transformed their mindset and their habits!
"Working with Katy has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.”
As a freelancer in the entertainment industry, I was feeling stagnant in my career and overwhelmed by my finances. I was also experiencing some turmoil in my personal life, which left me with a sense of dissatisfaction. My work with Katy quickly yielded powerful results. She helped me focus on where I wanted my career and what I needed to do to get there. The exercises she provides are in-depth and thoughtful, not only getting to the root of financial blocks and attitudes, but also addressing the impact of early life experiences and how those shape and affect us subconsciously. Since working with Katy, I've forged a new path in my career, reaching levels of success and personal fulfillment I never had before. I have a tangible plan for paying off debts and saving for retirement, and I've experienced a newfound sense of peace and calm in my personal life now that I'm living authentically. I even got engaged! What Katy taught me has been invaluable and I'm so grateful to have her in my life!"
- Annette Valencia, Co-Executive Producer
“The program has helped me completely shift my energy and as a result I’ve transformed my career path.”
“As a Korean woman in Hollywood, the Stop Asian Hate Movement brought up so many emotions. Katy never shied away from these conversations. In fact, she encouraged them. By coming to terms with my feelings, I’ve realized my desire to use my career as a vehicle for positive change, equity, and representation. This realization has propelled my success and I started getting much bigger auditions...a lead for a feature film, a guest star role for HBO Max, and I booked a co-star on a hit FOX show! Everything is really about ENERGY first.
Now I see just how tightly I had been holding onto the money I had before. I kept giving in to the fear of loss. And now, I’m leaning into the possibility of GAIN. I’ve actually come to love investing in myself. And I started attracting abundance in ALL areas of my life. All of a sudden my mom sent $4000 at the end of March, I won free clothes, my LA rent relief got approved, and did I mention I’ve lost ten pounds?!
Today I feel free, and I thank you so much, Katy!”
- Sun Park, Actor
“Katy helped me see that having a stable abundant financial life doing what I love is possible.”
“I am so full of appreciation and love for Katy and her beautiful spirit. I started FFCC broken, depressed, unable to see my worth working a shitty hustle job sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day in a windowless dusty room creating FedEx shipment labels. Through Katy's brilliance and beautiful, kind, open energy, I am now working full time as an audiobook narrator and about to start the process of incorporating because she helped me tap into my worthiness, a feeling that I hadn't felt in years and was seemingly so far away from me.”
- Julienne Irons, Actor and Audiobook Narrator
"I know I'll look back and know that this was the year I turned my finances around. My financial life is the best it's ever been."
“One year ago I had credit card debt of $24,000, now I have credit card debt of $2,500 and I have savings for the first time ever!! And it doesn’t even feel like I'm sacrificing anything! It’s kind of incredible. I started saving 10% of absolutely everything I earned, then I gradually started saving more and more and then I became excited by my savings and I knew I would rather see my savings go up than spend the money frivolously on clothes that I probably wouldn’t even like next year. I still buy myself some nice things - I’m a big fan of Poshmark - But my unconscious spending habit has completely disappeared.
Prior to working with Katy in the Financial Freedom for Creatives Club, I could never pay my tax bill on time. This year for the first time ever, I paid my taxes on time.
However, the biggest change is in my self worth. I truly feel VALUABLE, and this has allowed me to dream big and attract abundance everywhere, including selling my 6 year old car for top dollar, finding a very reasonable and trustworthy building contractor to do repairs on my property and negotiating and receiving money owed to me from an insurance company.
I said no to the jobs I didn’t want to do - before FFFC I would have always taken jobs I didn’t want to do because ‘I needed the money.’ But as soon as I started putting myself and what I actually wanted first, everything just fell into place. I feel secure in my finances now for the first time in my adult life and I can honestly say I’m not worried about money because I know it will always be coming in and I trust myself to make smart decisions. The subtle shifts that I made from implementing what I learned from you have truly changed my life from the inside out and I am forever grateful to you Katy!”

“I built up savings for the first time in my life and paid off two credit cards. ”
“[Before #FFCC, I was] Ignoring my bank account out of fear, ground down by the belief I'd never make more money and always be broke, the type of person who views money with disdain (mostly because I didn't have any but pretended like it was a moral value).
I moved into my dream apartment, something I never thought I could afford. I have asked for (and received) raises, upped my freelancer rate, and refused to settle for low-paying jobs just because they were offered to me.”
- Alison S., Actor & Writer
"I went into this believing that Katy would help me better myself, and SHE DELIVERED."
“To be fully open and learn those money blocks that Katy pulled out of us in the Financial Freedom for Creatives group is the best thing that worked for me. I didn't write any books or win any major roles, but what I did was learn how to save my money better than I had and actually how to spend it wisely.
The practices of decluttering was my biggest money block and that catapulted my life so far ahead that I feel like I can breathe. I began asking for the help that I deserved because of Katy, and now I have friends and colleagues who donated tremendously to my success. I received a professional grade USB microphone from one friend and a brand new laptop, all with the confidence from Katy and the group encouraging me to see the success in myself.
I've grown so much in the group that I even reconnected with my daughter because of the help to ease fear to get what I've always yearned for from Katy. She encouraged me to go for my goals, and I am now climbing into voice acting with a better chance than I ever did before Katy... I was 'TALKING' about it before her. Now I am doing it. I'm super grateful for Katy and the whole group entirely for helping me find a more confident me in this industry and, as a whole, in life.”
- Cedric Baggett, Host, Voice Actor, and Radio Board Op
“Working with Katy has profoundly changed my relationship with money, practically and spiritually.”
“I first met Katy in 2019 right before the pandemic wreaked its havoc on the world. At that time, I had several fairly secure paths of revenue, but every one of them fell prey to the pandemic. I dipped into my scant savings to continue my work with Katy and it has been the best financial decision of my life.
Without a job, I was able to continue paying my bills with help from Federal and state programs, the SBA, and The Actor’s Fund—all of which Katy helped me discover and navigate. Our work on identifying my core values (I didn't even know I had those) and learning how to align them with my money thoughts, feelings, and habits, has resulted in the most significant change in how I view income earning, budgeting, and spending. Some of Katy's lessons may seem a bit woo-woo, but it’s the woo-woo that truly gets to the heart of the matter. It wasn’t easy looking back into my past to identify where my money beliefs originated but, as it turns out, absolutely necessary.
I am now prepared to begin my “investment job” (i.e. an actor’s “day job”) without the typical feelings of dread and heart-sinking resignation because I know what I want, where I want to go, and how to get there (even as it may evolve). Everything is in place for my short and long-term creative and financial wellbeing as I begin raking in the dough! How did she do that?!”
- Shelley Phillips, Actor, Writer and Audiobook Narrator
“Katy's membership program has been a big awakening for me!”
“Before starting with Katy, I had a rough idea of my numbers - expenses, revenue, savings. I didn't have any clear plan on how to get to where I wanted to be, and quite honestly, I felt lost in who to turn to for questions and advice. Now, I track all my money coming in and out! I have great new habits to track my money, track all the amazing abundance that comes my way each day, and I have clear goals and plans on how to get there. I also feel like I have a whole team of support and experts to help me get there! I know that I can go to Katy or any of her expert speakers and seek help for whatever I need. After starting the year with barely any work through my business, I'm now on track to finish with my highest revenue to date! I would absolutely recommend Katy's membership program to anyone looking to get on track or level up.”
- Natalia Roberts, Photographer and Online Educator
“She taught me that visibility into your financial situation is not scary but empowering.”
Katy's program has given me the confidence to face my issues with money head-on. I used to hide from my spending and debt in hopes that my card wouldn't get declined, which was so stressful! She taught me that visibility into your financial situation is not scary but empowering. I now have a comprehensive and active debt repayment plan and since joining her program have invested in a CPA, business loan, and other financial measures, and they have been successful! I learned that it wasn't about controlling or even saving all the money but working with my situation and spending according to values that were important to me, taking the shame out of using my hard earned cash. Her program has given me all the financial tools to succeed in my small business and personal finances.
- Heather Roy, Website Developer
“I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for being in your program!”
"It has allowed me to realize and understand how I make decisions based on things from my childhood. Things like how I have to spend money when I receive it and how it relates to me not feeling like I deserve it. Which also answers why I have to fill up all my spare time to do things instead of have the time to receive and allow space to enjoy not having a full schedule. Thank you for your gifts and allowing me to feel safe and be vulnerable in the group."
- Brigitte Rawlings, BodyMind Coach and Massage Therapist
"I've gone from having the worst debt of my life to being in a position where I will be debt-free by the end of the year."
“A colleague introduced me to her Financial Freedom program, which I initially expected to be academic, kind of like a money management for dummies curriculum, but it is sooooo much more. Even after just one month of analyzing my spending habits and recurring thoughts about money, I started to become more aware of why I have made certain financial decisions in my past. What was once shame had started transforming into compassion, and that's really when things started to shift for me.
I've gone from having no savings (and I mean NONE) to saving at least 10% of income every single week. I've gone from crossing my fingers during tax season to confidently hiring a professional. I've gone from hating parts of myself to loving myself fully, mistakes and all, because who I am today is a product of all that has happened in my past. It takes work. It takes time, thought, energy, and above all, belief, but what seemed impossible eight months ago, is now my reality. Her work has profoundly changed me as an individual and I have never felt more intuitively connected to my future path than ever before. I'm beyond grateful and will always treasure Katy for this journey, which truly, has only just begun!”
- Kelsey, Writer and Educator
"I have benefitted both financially and emotionally from learning how to negotiate better rates, feeling deserving of my worth, and from feeling that deep support…”
"Katy has built and nurtured a diverse community of artists, technology workers, and media freelancers that supports each other as we have grown financially healthier together. Because money is also an emotional issue, this community has become an important part of my education and growth. We understand what it means to work in industries that do not protect our creative souls. With Katy’s guidance and knowledge, we feel safe together to learn how to break out of our financial mindsets and experience abundance. That is what makes Katy’s approach to financial freedom unique."
- Autumn Doerr, TV Producer | Writer | Author of Baker's Dozen: A Lexi Fagan Mystery
