    Angel Marr: 10k months, breaking old habits, and creating a sustainable freelance life

    Success as a freelancer isn’t about working harder, shrinking yourself, or finding the perfect niche. It starts when you stop seeing burnout as something to be proud of and choose a path that supports your life beyond work. Today on Wealthy Artist, we’re joined by Angel Marr, author of the Substack Online Offline Club and social media manager for To Be Magnetic. She shares her journey from living paycheck to paycheck and starting over in a new place to building a freelance life that feels creative, exciting, and truly sustainable. She talks about working a series of odd jobs, a tough assistant PR and nanny position, and how a conversation with Grace Abbott of How to Go Freelance inspired her to put herself first. We chat about starting from scratch as fire signs, why narrowing your focus can feel limiting, how intuition guides us, and how the best opportunities often show up when you stop trying to force them. We also talk about manifestation, Angel’s snail mail club, taking road trips, and building an offline life that still feels big and exciting. This conversation is refreshing and full of practical advice. If you’re a freelancer, a creative, or thinking about a big career change, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to start over completely to begin again. *btw, this post is not sponsored or in collab with To Be Magnetic, though that would be so cool. We just spoke about it a lot, as it’s one of the ways we met and got to know each other :) ****************** Chapters ♡ 00:00 Intro 9:52 Angel’s path from Boston to LA 18:47 Choosing freelancing and finding a niche 28:19 Building a sustainable freelance career 32:10 What it means to be an artist 40:10 Creating an artist’s life 48:52 Redefining wealth and success 1:00:28 Starting freelance without burning everything down 1:20:36 Breaking generational patterns around rest 1:22:09 Exploration, risk, and trusting yourself 1:25:11 What Angel is loving lately 1:25:39 The joy of road trips 1:36:18 Travel, financial safety, and planning ahead 1:41:46 Finding balance while growing your career 1:49:07 Connecting with Angel & closing thoughts ****************** Angel Marr is a freelance social media manager and marketer in Los Angeles, known for her work with brands such as To Be Magnetic, and her Substack, Online Offline Club, where she writes about balance, creativity, and living fully both on and offline.

    Hayley Stone pt2: Finding Love & Career After She Stopped Performing

    Our chat was split into 2 episodes, so be sure to tune in to both!! After leaving a coveted Sotheby’s career and moving from New York to London, Paris, and now the south of France, Hayley has learned that real wealth isn't money; it’s safety. Welcome back to Wealthy Artist!! Today we have my dear friend and TBM buddy, Hayley Stone. We discussed her journey from growing up in New York, to studying abroad in London, to working at Sotheby’s, to now living in the south of France as a breathwork facilitator - and of course, everything in between! If you’ve ever felt like your identity was built around your job, relationship, or the city you live in, this conversation is for you. We unpack the hidden cost of living for external validation and the courageous work of growing into yourself instead of trying to reinvent your life from a place of panic. Hayley shares how breathwork helped her regulate anxiety, reconnect with her body, and stop mistaking fear for truth, and how she now helps women living abroad through her own breathwork practice. You’ll hear how she moved from auction schedules and an identity tied to Sotheby’s to building a life and business rooted in breathwork, identity work, and nervous system support. Together, we explore the many shifts that helped Hayley move from performing who she thought she should be to living in alignment with her values. This one is for my fellow Gen Z and Millennial girls; it’s a reminder that the life you want is already within reach and the work is learning to feel safe enough to receive it. This episode is for anyone navigating a major transition, craving a more aligned life, or learning to be seen without abandoning themselves. ****************** Chapters ♡ 00:00 Intro 01:01 Hayley’s international love story 11:56 Writing a list and raising your standards 19:15 Finding manifestation and TBM 24:42 The fear of being seen 33:21 Showing up authentically online 42:40 Alchemizing fear into love 48:46 Finding alignment through place and self-expression 52:05 Rethinking alcohol and feeling like yourself 56:19 Coherent breathing, fragrance, and current obsessions 01:05:33 Hayley’s work and where to find her 01:07:05 Closing reflections ****************** Hayley Stone is a breathwork facilitator based in the south of France, helping women living abroad regulate their nervous systems and step into their next season with more love, safety, confidence, and self-trust.
