In this episode of Rad-Ventures, I sit down with G from Ray Social to talk about everything from homeschooling and redundancy to Canva chaos, freelancing, and finding joy in your business.

G shares her unique path into marketing, how she built a business during the pandemic, and the ups and downs of navigating the freelance life. We dig into the difference between employment and self-employment, the emotional side of leaving a “proper job,” and why your business should reflect you — not a blueprint.

If you’re a creative, freelancer, or just trying to figure out what freedom looks like for you, this episode’s got real talk, laughs, and plenty of practical insight.
