Freelancer Profile: Designer Charli Marie Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

In our first ever Freelancer Profile we talk with Charli Marie, a part-time freelance designer! We chat about when it's time to pivot your content, art versus merch, graphic design school, working remotely, waking up at 5:30am, and running an online shop! Charli is one of the hardest working people I know and I'm so glad she could grace us with her beautiful New Zealand accent!

Comparing Yourself to Others Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

When your success rides on standing out, it can be SO EASY to start comparing yourself to people around you that are doing what you do. In this episode I have a little pep talk (one I really needed to hear myself) about why comparing ourselves to others is super unhelpful, why we shouldn't think of our idols as intimidation, and how to love what you do!
