But don’t get just any job. In this episode, I share how aligned work can help you build your dream without going broke or bitter. Plus, real-life examples to help you choose purpose over pride. When Tabitha Brown told entrepreneurs and artists to “get a job,” the internet had feelings. In this episode, I share why I agree with her—and what I’d add. Getting a job doesn’t mean giving up on your dream. It means choosing provision over pride and finding peace while you build. But here’s the catch: don’t get just any job. Get one that aligns with your purpose.

I’ll walk you through:

  • Provision should not be viewed as punishment
  • How aligned work supports your purpose
  • What to look for in your next role so it’s not just a paycheck—it’s preparation


If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or ashamed about needing income while building your vision, this episode will remind you: you’re not failing. You’re funding your future.
