Session singer and blogger Mella Barnes is my guest on the podcast this week. She’s not only built a career doing what she loves, but built her own vocal booth!

Listen in as we talk about how her workload has increased since the pandemic began, how she’s shifted her mindset to be comfortable asking to be paid for the work she’s doing, finding your why, and why you should get in on Pinterest as a musician now.

Quotes that Stood Out:

• “You are allowed to just not do anything sometimes.”
• “Wanting to be rich is fine, why do you want to be rich? Dig deeper into that.”
• “I can ask and I should ask to be paid for the work that I’m doing.”
• “You are worth getting paid.”
