Lumpy Income, Smooth Life: Income Strategies for Creatives with Dylan Snowden

Dylan Snowden's path to financial coaching wasn’t exactly traditional—he went from disaster zones to comedy clubs to helping creatives stop the financial chaos. And thank goodness, because his insight on managing lumpy, unpredictable income is exactly what so many of us need.

In this episode, Dylan breaks down how to make irregular income feel sustainable, why avoiding your money never helps, and how to finally feel in control—even if you’re a freelancer, artist, or entrepreneur living project to project.

We talk about the real cost of financial shame, setting up savings buckets (trust me, this one tip will change your life), and what to do with those “unusual months” with big expenses.

Dylan is offering Everyone's Talking Money listeners ⁠ 20% discount on my two-session financial strategy package⁠.
