2 years ago - almost to the day I put in my 2-ish week (it ended up being a lot longer than that) notice to leave my full-time job. It came on the back of being unhappy and job searching for a while and also never really feeling fulfilled or happy at any of the full-time or internship roles I had ever worked at. It was a decision that took some courage but quite honestly just felt right to me - so as I've mentioned on plenty of other episodes - I didn't really think about it that much and just took the leap into being my own boss.
The last two years have been filled with great wins that I never really took a moment to celebrate, and mourning a lot of painful losses. They have brought me some of my most fulfilling creative collaborations and some of my most difficult projects. And through it all I've made a lot of stuff I'm really proud of and quite honestly - a lot of stuff I'm not that proud of.
On today's episode I drink a little too much rose and overshare the history of my first tow years of freelancing. We talk everything from
- my greatest wins
- greatest losses
- best memories of the last two years
-and biggest learnings
My hope is that where ever you are at in this journey you also take a moment to raise a toast to yourself and your freelance journey and maybe learn a little something from my missteps.
