The biggest myth I believed when I started freelancing? That I had to be everywhere.

On every platform. Posting every day. Saying yes to everything.

Spoiler alert: that’s the quickest route to burnout (and zero results).

I’ve been freelancing for almost 5 years now – and it’s been full of ups and downs.

Here’s ten things I’ve learnt along the way:
1) It’s OK if you have to find alternative incomes during a ‘dip’ - that doesn’t mean you’ve failed

2) It takes time to find your way - trust you’ll get there

3) You don’t need to be everywhere to grow your business.

4) As tempting as it is to work 24/7, that’s just a very fast path to burnout.

5) Strategy > scrambling. Always.

6) Saying yes to every client is not sustainable.

7) In fact, the day I said no to a client was a real turning point for me professionally and personally – the point of freelancing is being in control! You can decide who you work with!!

8) Consistency is more powerful than perfection.

9) Marketing without a plan = endless overwhelm.

10) You can take time off without your business falling apart (although this one is still really tough!)

And because I know how hard it can feel to balance visibility with actual life, I created Stay Visible This Summer – a free 6-week content batching plan to help you show up without being glued to your phone.

Do you ever close your laptop for the weekend (or even a holiday)…
…but forget to close all the tabs in your head? (Hand raise here! 🖐️)

It’s such a weird feeling, right?
You’re “off,” but not really.

Even when you’re not physically at work, your brain hasn’t clocked off.

And as someone who works from home, that boundary can feel even blurrier – your laptop’s right there, the notifications keep pinging, and suddenly you’re “just checking one thing.”

I may plan to rest, but then find my thoughts wandering to client projects or next week’s to-do list on a loop.

By Monday, I feel like I never truly switched off – because I didn’t. 🙄

This weekend, I’m trying something different:
💜 A proper social media break
💜 Finally setting up my new office space (after living in boxes all month!)
💜 Giving myself permission to switch off

Because here’s the thing: if you take a step back more a mo you’ll realise *there’s enough time for everything we want to do.* We have enough time!

There’s time for work. There’s time for rest.
We don’t have to do both at once.

Time isn’t the problem. It’s how we prioritise it.

So, tell me… how do you fully switch off when you’re off the clock? Or are you working on this too? 💜

So… how did I go from law school to email marketer? Here’s the story.

Like so many purpose-led business owners, my path hasn’t been linear.

But it has been values-led.

🌱 From my first marketing internship at an environmental non-profit to helping zero-waste shops, entrepreneurs, coaches and creatives – my mission has always been the same:�
To help those doing good, do better.

And I believe you can do it WITHOUT working yourself into the ground.

If you’re ready to grow your business with clarity, connection and strategy – I’d love to help.
