"The Creative Code" is a transformative journey through the intricacies of the artist's world, a must-read for anyone dedicated to their craft. As an artist myself, I found its insights deeply relatable, particularly in its exploration of the origins of our sense of value. The book eloquently addresses the damaging notion that there's no financial viability in art, a belief that can erode our self-worth and confidence.
What sets "The Creative Code" apart is its practicality. It doesn't just dwell on the challenges; it offers tangible strategies for navigating them. From delving into universal laws to reshaping our relationship with money, the book provides a roadmap for transforming our reality and laying the groundwork for financial prosperity.
One aspect I truly appreciate is its emphasis on building a support system and team. By fostering a community that believes in our artistic vision, we can cultivate abundance together.
Overall, "The Creative Code" is a groundbreaking achievement that will resonate deeply within the creative community. It has the power to reignite our passion and spark a paradigm shift in how artists are valued and compensated. It's not just a book; it's a catalyst for change that will shape the future of creativity for generations to come.

An essential read for artists and creatives functioning outside the "norms" of a 9-5 world. An essential tool to help navigate the often unpredictable peaks and valleys experienced by creative freelancers, specifically, with regard to money.
"The Creative Code" is a reference to be highlighted, underlined and occasionally referenced, when doubt, frustration and lack of hope take hold of an idle mind to help calm the soul. Can I make a living as an artist? Can I make more money doing what I do as a creative? How do I save, invest and maximize my earnings as an artist? How to maintain a positive money mind state and faith when it comes to the (yet to arrive) next big job around the corner?
All of these questions are more easily "deciphered" within.

"The Creative Code" is THE book I wish I had when I took the plunge to leave my successful career in construction to pursue a career in art. Even though I have always been good with financial planning and management, I didn't realize how many money mindset blocks I had that stopped me from valuing my work as an artist and creative. If I had Jen's book back then, my journey to identify and dismantle these limitations, finally allowing me to value my work as an artist, would have been way smoother. Only when I started shifting my limiting money beliefs and aligning my actions with principles & Universal Laws Jen talks about in her book, I started seeing the positive shift in the financial success of my creative business. It's easy to shift a mindset, but difficult to sustain it when it's dealt with on a superficial level. And that's what Jen's book will help you do. Unlike many finance books overloaded with generic advice, this book dives deep. It's written by a creative, for creatives! Jen gets the specific roadblocks artists face and offers practical tools tailored to our unique needs. Forget fleeting mindset shifts or budgeting tricks; it will equip you with lasting strategies to overcome money blocks and build a thriving creative practice. From practical steps of how to create a better financial plan, to resolving the deep-seated money blocks, this book is your ultimate guide to ditching the starving artist syndrome and embracing the love of abundance and freedom you desire and deserve.

Jen’s story is highly relatable as I am also a first born, first generation Filipino-American who experienced the inherent pressures of maintaining financial security while upholding cultural expectations and traditions. I always knew deep down I wanted something else out of life, and going all in on my artistic passions was how I ultimately realized making a living against the grain was entirely possible. The Creative Code is a real life testimonial and guide to achieving success—and thriving in your artistic endeavors. Highly recommend for anyone that is on the fence about taking that leap. It could be the nudge you need to change your life!
