In this episode, I’m sharing the honest, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what it actually cost me to set up my own creative studio, Karma Creative Studios. If you’ve ever dreamed of opening your own space — or just want a real look at the numbers — this episode is for you. I’m walking you through everything from major setup expenses to the unexpected “little things” that added up fast, plus how I’m feeling about the investment so far.
In this episode, I talk about:
✎ Why I wanted a studio in the first place (and why I waited).
✎ The true cost of setting up the space — from tables and chairs to neon signs and curtain rods.
✎ The sneaky expenses that added up (and what I wish I had planned for).
✎ How I’m feeling about the investment now — the good, the stressful, and the "still figuring it out" moments.
✎ My mindset around business experiments, pivots, and playing the long game.
