with host artist Miriam Schulman
Barbara Huson’s story is proof that financial struggles can transform into wealth and empowerment. She opens up about how decades of under-earning shaped her path to becoming a financial therapist and best-selling author. Together we dive into the mindset shifts and practical steps that help women, including artists, break free from financial limitations. This conversation is about power, purpose, and learning to embrace discomfort as the doorway to success.
“A powerful woman is someone who knows who she is, who knows what she wants, and expresses that in the world unapologetically.” – Barbara Huson
In this podcast, you will discover…
- Learn why under-earning is about more than money
- Hear what “sacred success” means and how it can guide your career
- Discover the three main reasons women often stay stuck financially
- Explore how to rewire your brain with simple mindset practices
“Under-earning never is a conscious choice. It never feeds your soul. It is always a condition of deprivation and not just of money, but of time, of joy, of freedom, of choices. But most of all, of self-esteem.”– Barbara Huson

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country. I’d love to invite you to check out one of my free resources for art lovers (of every passion level) at schulmanart.com/freebies

Listener shout out of the week!
One of the best pieces of advice I took from Miriam was to get myself on PodMatch and start dating: aka pitching myself for podcast interviews. I was nervous at first (hello imposter syndrome!), but I followed her lead, put myself out there, and guess what? I landed three podcast interviews through March! It’s been such a fun way to share my story, connect with new people, and grow my audience.
I’ll be on: Story Power with Lucinda Sage-Midgorden talking about storytelling and art; on Moving along with Christi Cassidy talking about my YouTube video series “walking for inspiration” and on Phantom Electric Ghost, talking about what made me want to be a creator (he reached out to me)

Chelsea Artpreneur Studio · New York City
What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.
