In this solo episode of The Creative Flight Podcast I touch upon:

- Why not talking about money keeps people underpaid

- How silence around price removes leverage

- The hidden cost of being “generous” when it comes from obligation

- Cultural conditioning, reputation, and self-monitoring

- How unexamined beliefs show up in pricing, sales, and confidence

- What happens when you stop interpreting other people’s behaviour through your own emotional lens

This is about bringing awareness to the beliefs that still influence how we make decisions today.

If you’ve ever felt awkward talking about money, hesitant around pricing, or unsure whether you’re being fair or undercharging, this episode will

The Creative Flight is a space for honest conversations about business, identity, and the inner mechanics that shape how we show up in our work.

If this episode lands, feel free to share it with someone who might need it. And if you’re willing, I’d love to hear which beliefs you’re ready to let go of.

What happens when a highly creative, multi-passionate person starts questioning their identity, their relationship with money, and their own sense of worth? In this episode of The Creative Flight, Ivy Malik sits down with Gabriella Killeen for an honest conversation about creativity, ambition, money, and the inner narratives that shape how we show up in our work. Gabriella shares openly about: - Growing up multi-lingual and multi-passionate - Loving money for the freedom it brings and struggling when it goes quiet - The self-attack loops that appear during low periods - Imposter syndrome, bitterness, and the “anyone could do this” story - Why pleasure, presence, and creativity are deeply connected - How sexology, intimacy, and play influence fulfilment beyond work This episode touches upon the inner mechanics behind motivation, confidence, and creative energy, especially for people who don’t fit neatly into one job title. If you’ve ever felt driven by curiosity and play, but unsettled when things slow down, this conversation will resonate. About Gabriella Killeen:

You’ve heard the advice: post more, start a Telegram group, run a masterclass, DM everyone who votes on your poll. But what if none of it works, not because you’re bad at business, but because it was never meant for you?
