Welcome back to another episode of the Creative Minds, Smart Money Podcast! I’m your host, Samantha Eck, and today I’m joined by Melissa Nguyen, a mindset and embodiment coach who’s all about helping creative entrepreneurs break through their mental blocks—especially when it comes to money.

In this episode, Melissa opens up about her own journey with mental health and how it led her to a more holistic, mind-body approach to business and personal growth. We dig deep into the power of mindset and how those sneaky money blocks can seriously hold you back from reaching your full potential as an entrepreneur. But don’t worry, Melissa’s got your back with practical steps, success stories, and even a free Body Presence Meditation to help you shift your mindset and embrace financial success.

If you’re a creative entrepreneur feeling stuck or struggling with limiting beliefs around money, this episode is for you! Learn how to align your mindset, reprogram those mental barriers, and transform your relationship with money and business growth.
