Being a freelancer is hard. It’s HARD babe! I’ve been there and I know it. So on this episode of Fiercely Freelance: The Podcast, I’m giving you my no-judgement advice about spotting the signs of burnout so that you can be a happier, healthier freelancer with a business that you f*cking love.
I share my burnout story so that you can see if it sounds like your life now. You’ll hear the symptoms of being close to burnout and learn why your business isn’t actually your baby. Then I’ll tell you how to move out of burnout and renegotiate with your clients to give yourself some breathing space. And at the end of the episode, I share some exciting deets about my new mini-mind program that’s designed to help you become the business owner that you want to be!
Burnout is a big risk for freelancers and I need you to know that it’s not your fault. Babe, you’re *not* your business and you’re *not* a failure. I hope that this episode of Fiercely Freelance: The Podcast helps you to put things in perspective and to put yourself first. And if you’re ready to reshape your business strategy, you can find out more about my mini-mind below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
