Have you ever opened your laptop, stared at the screen for 20 minutes, and ended up on TikTok watching somebody’s uncle argue with a goat? Yeah… welcome to the creative slump.

In this episode, I gist about my own slump season — the comparison, the procrastination, the ghosting — and the 3 big lessons it forced me to learn: why motion beats motivation, why consistency isn’t about perfection, and why rest is actually strategy.

If you’ve been quiet online or dragging your feet on your craft, this one’s for you. Slumps will come, but how you crawl out? That’s your story.

In this episode of From Draft to Dollars,

I sit down with filmmaker, producer, and screenwriter Tanyeno for a raw Creative Self-Check. We dig into the stories and themes that resonate, the traps most artists fall into, unlearning “success,” and why some moments in the creative process are more sacred than we admit.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or unsure of your creative voice, this conversation is your reminder to pause, reset, and build from what truly matters.

Ever frozen up when someone asks, “So, what’s your rate?” You’re not alone , most creatives panic, undersell themselves, or start negotiating against themselves before the client even says a word.

In this episode of From Draft to Dollars, we’re breaking down The 4-Part Self-Pitch, a simple framework to price your work without second-guessing. You’ll learn the difference between what you feel you should get, what you deserve, what you can negotiate, and what you can settle for.

Because pricing isn’t just about money. it’s about protecting your time, your energy, and your confidence. If you’re tired of leaving cash on the table (or working for “exposure”), this is the mindset shift you need before your next pitch.
