In this very special episode, I sit down with my mom, aka momager, to talk about business, money, mindset, family, and everything in-between. She shares how she was able to run her own businesses while raising two daughters, and how she views the flow of money.

My mom is bad ass and is a perfect example of how being a freelancer/entrepreneur can make it easier for parents to be home with/bond with their kids.

Why You Are Self-Sabotaging May 12, 2022

Show notes

We all sabotage our true potential every single day, whether we realize it or not. The problem is that most of us are unaware we are doing it, and even when we are made aware, we are unsure of how to stop doing it.

In this episode, I go over what self-sabotaging is, how to identify it, what causes it, how to work through it, and how to reach for your true potential. The saying 'we are our own worst enemy' could not be more true, especially in business. But, your mind is a powerful tool that can be changed and rewired at any time - you are in control!

Everything You Need to Know About Drop Servicing May 06, 2022

Show notes

'Drop servicing' has become a hot topic in the world of freelancing recently. It's a slang term used to describe a de facto freelancing agency model. I proudly own and manage my own drop servicing operation, and in this episode, I go over what that means, how to set one up, and why you should consider it, too. If people ever have a problem with how you're running your business, it's probably because they didn't think of it first. I encourage everyone to consider scaling their freelancing business today - period!

How I Deal with Online Hate & You Can Too May 04, 2022

It's no secret that my social media has attracted a lot of hate - more hate than I ever thought possible for someone who started a writing business. I have become as comfortable as I can be with the hate over the years, and am going to share how you, too, can anticipate the hate, forgive the hater, and go on with your day. It's an incredibly power mindset tool that will set you up for ultimate business success if you can learn to love your haters.

My Money Retirement Goal When I Will Stop Working Apr 29, 2022

Show notes

A lot of people want to know if there is a certain $ amount I want to hit before I officially retire. In this episode, I explain why I don't plan to ever fully retire, but rather, live a financially free life that supports my goals and dreams. I don't believe it is good for human beings to be entirely removed from creating/producing/helping others. Yet, living a financially free life in which you don't have to worry about where your money is coming from is a game changer.

Allow me to explain.

Feeling Scared to Put Yourself Out There as a Freelancer Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

It's very normal to be scared to 'put yourself out there' when you are first starting as a freelancer. As social creatures, we are impacted heavily by what our peers, communities, and loved ones have to say about us.

In this episode, I go over why it's ok to have this fear - and still push through it. I provide actionable tips on how to put yourself out there as a freelancer regardless, and how you can build confidence as a powerhouse member of the gig economy.

Don't forget... I have a free FB group with 23k people who are more than happy to cheer you on: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3715810965116993.

Insecurities About High Earning as a Woman Apr 22, 2022

Show notes

I never thought years ago people would want to hear my perspective on this topic. In fact, I never really had an opinion towards this topic until it became hard to ignore. I do believe having conversations around this topic can help other women feeling the exact same way - and it can more normalize women, especially young women, earning good money today.

Either way, I hope you enjoy my take!

How to Convince Yourself You Are Worth Your Rates Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

You are worth the rates you believe you are worth. I know that's a confusing statement, but in this episode, I explore how mindset, confidence, and experience directly translate into rates that you can successfully charge clients. In a short amount of time, you can double your rates with a proper portfolio, some testimonials, and most importantly, the self-confidence that you CAN do this.

And believe me, you can!

How I Deal with Fear, Anxiety, and Uncertainty as a Side Hustler Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

Fear, anxiety, and uncertainty are all natural parts of the freelancing and side hustling process. In fact, all of them present their own benefits in a lot of ways, if we can reframe how we see and approach each of them.

In this episode, I explain how I have conquered (at times) all three, and what's going on inside my head when I do. I am a human just like you, so I am not always victorious.

Note: I am not a medical professional or claiming to be one in this episode. I am merely describing how I got past my own fear and anxiety. I believe we are in a dangerous place when people refuse to learn/change something about themselves. There is always room for growth.
