Hi Reader, Happy Friday! How are we feeling about 2026 so far? Jan is over (well, very almost), so we should have a bit of data here. I've secured two new contracts this month and am in talks finalising another one. It's always interesting to note how these enquiries find me: The first one has been following my newsletter for a while and reached out for content help/LinkedIn outreach help The second one saw my posts on Shopify and wanted to create similarly in-depth posts for their own blog...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! One of my "new year's resolutions" (put in speech marks because I generally hate them) is to switch up my environment more often. If I'm in the same place for too long, I tend to get bored which impacts my productivity. So, one small tweak I'm making is to try and go somewhere different each day. That might be a different coworking space, a cafe with pals, or working from a friend's house (read: my sister's house). What small tweaks are you making? P.S. This week on...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! This has been my first "official" week back at work and it's been very productive. Sure, it took me a good few hours to remember how to do my job, but for the most part it's been positive. I've had 2 new enquiries this week (one of which just accepted my rates without question - love it when that happens), and I've been asked to do a talk at a university. So, it's off to a good start I'd say. How about you? How are you finding the start to the year? P.S. This week on...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! WELCOME TO 2026 🥳 I've spent 3 weeks eating mince pies, drinking fizz, hiking, relaxing, and generally forgetting how to string a sentence together. But now I'm back and I'm feeling PUMPED. Who knew 3 weeks off could claw back my motivation from the fiery depths of nowhere?! Anyway, how are you? How are things looking for you in 2026? Is there anything you're particularly excited about? Scared about? Worried about? Pumped about? Let me know! I'm going to be recording...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Hopefully, by the time you receive this, my out of office will be on and my laptop will be hidden in a drawer somewhere out of reach. It's been a shocker of a year, right? I think we all need some time to sit and stare into space. P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared what I'd do as a freelancer "doing outreach" but not seeing results. Check it out here. And don't forget to give me a follow for regular tips and tricks! Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise:...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! It feels like I'm clawing my way towards next Friday at this point. I have 4 pieces left to write before I take some time off (hopefully) from the 19th Dec. I can't remember the last time I had an extended period of time off work and I'm SO looking forward to the break. My plan is to not get my laptop out AT ALL (unless, of course, it's to book a holiday 😉) P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared 101 content ideas for freelancers who want more clients. Check it out...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Wish me luck as I try and cram 4 weeks of work into 3 weeks this month so I can sit and stuff my face with mince pies for the remainder of 2025. Hope you've got a better plan than me! P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared the tiny, easy system that gets me clients every month. Check it out here. And don't forget to give me a follow for regular tips and tricks! Here's what I've been up to this week work-wise: 👉 I wrote 2 pieces for clients (Spoke and an influencer...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! This week has been call-heavy. Two calls with potential new clients (and some tough decisions to make - one seems like a great opportunity, but I'll need to weigh up the time commitments and whether it's worth it for me). I also held 3 mentoring calls with fellow freelancers which is one of my favourite things to do. I've been thoroughly enjoying getting to know your businesses and help you get to the next step. All mentoring slots have been taken for 2026, but I'll...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I'm feeling on the brink of burn out at the moment, so I've been chanting "one more month" for a while now in the hopes that it'll somehow give me the energy to push through 4 more weeks. Let me tell you, I cannot bloody wait to be at one with my sofa and a pack of mince pies. Anyone else?! P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared what I'd do if I was struggling to make consistent income. Check it out here. And don't forget to give me a follow for regular tips and...
