🎙 Guest: Angela Lyons - Graphic Designer
With over 20 years in design and 13 running her business, Lyons Creative, Angela Lyons has built a freelance career driven by kindness, community, and creativity.
What looked like a dream job quickly turned into stress, illness, and burnout. Freelancing gave Angela freedom, joy, and time with her children and the chance to rebuild on her own terms.
Her journey is one of resilience and growth: from envying freelancers to becoming one, from a decade without contracts to confidently running a business with systems, boundaries, and self-belief.
This episode is for anyone doubting themselves or waiting for the “right time.” Angela proves that Success Behind the Scenes isn’t about just getting by; it’s about creating a business and life you feel truly blessed to live.
