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.

You’ll walk away learning:

How to create financial systems that work with irregular income—not against it Why your spending isn't actually unpredictable (you just haven't been tracking it right) How to use savings buckets to stop surprise expenses from blowing up your budget Why your financial habits won't magically improve when you earn more—and what to do instead A kinder way to start planning for future-you, one small step at a time
