Hey, I’m Lou – your host of The Travelling Web Designer podcast. I’ve run my WordPress web and graphic design business remotely from 31 countries over the past 13 years.
I know the highs and the meltdowns that come with trying to build a freedom-filled, flexible business you actually love.
In this first raw, voice-memo-style episode, I take you behind the scenes of what really happened when I wanted to burn my web design business to the ground.
💥 Once while living full-time in Europe💥 Once during a very rough pregnancy with hyperemesis💥 And the big one – in early motherhood, when I shut my business down completely
But here’s the thing… burning it down gave me the space to rebuild something better. Something simpler. Something way more aligned.
The true cost of building a business that doesn’t support the life you want
Why looking “successful” online means nothing if you’re secretly struggling
What burnout feels like as a solo web designer trying to do it all
How I rebuilt my business from scratch – smarter, simpler, and sustainable
A gentle reminder that you are not alone – and you can create a business that actually feels good to run
If you’re a web designer or creative who dreams of working from anywhere without the overwhelm, or you’re craving more ease in your already location-independent business – this one’s for you.
🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever wanted to burn it all down… or just need some real-world encouragement to keep going.
