Well written. As you said, the culture is money driven and it’s hard to spend hours researching a subject and not get paid for it as one has to account for those hours somewhat. It’s a wonderful conversation you’re opening up. Should we charge for old age wisdom that we got for free? Who knows.
I wrote this a couple weeks ago, so when I reread it, I was kinda feeling surprised about what I said.
I’ve though I conveyed the words about wanting to do things holistically, without profit-driven mentality the focus, I can’t help but feel that’s not the case.
I completely understand and I often find myself in a similar dilemma. There's a drive within me to work creatively so I can free myself from the confines of primarily profit-driven work environments and the mindset they instill upon you, but of course, I want to someday be able to make a living with my creativity, which does require, to a certain degree, adapting a profit-driven mindset again.
I have childhood trauma surrounding finances and money. It's not that I can't handle them (I'm actually very good at budgeting and not living beyond the means I have), but it's just generally an uncomfortable topic for me, which isn't beneficial when you want to build a life as an entrepreneur/one-woman business/free-lancer.

Thank you for the thoughtful response.
I struggle with this (a lot).
I don’t understand why I have this belief. Perhaps it’s limiting, or I developed an unhealthy relationship with money.
How do you view money?
Amazing and innovative concept! I truly believe it will be a success!
Genuinely, I just want to be a writer—get paid for the craft I do.
But it’s challenging.
Thank you, Stephanie.
