Hi Reader, Happy Friday! In case you didn't know, this is a great time of year to connect with new potential clients and put yourself out there. Lots of companies are planning their Q1 campaigns and are on the lookout for freelancers to help. I often find the lead-up to Christmas is one of my most fruitful times of year in terms of landing more work, so here's your reminder to make the most of it 😉 P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared some things I DON'T do as a relatively successful...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I've been holding the first set of mentoring calls this week and it has been so fun helping others figure out how to get out of a rut and build businesses they love. I'm also running the month-long pitching challenge as part of the final cohort of Pitch & Prosper next week which I'm super excited about because I'll also be joining in. Stayed tuned for an update on how that goes. P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared a little activity you can do to figure out who your...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! This newsletter is coming to you from Marrakesh, where I've spent the last week working and playing with Happy Freelancers. I'm always so inspired by these trips and love hanging out with fellow freelancers where we can chat shop, rant, and enjoy good food and good times together. Also, just a quick reminder that I'm closing the doors to Pitch & Prosper for good on Sunday -- this go round includes a month-long pitching challenge so we can end the year strong. Join...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Can we believe it's October?! Not quite sure how that happened, but here we are. ANYWAY. The first 5 mentoring slots have been assigned and booked, and I'm so stoked to get to work with such a diverse mix of freelancers at different points in their journey. I'm going to be opening up a limited number of slots each month, so if you want to grab a spot over the next couple of months, add your name to this list. Also, just a reminder that I’m officially retiring Pitch &...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I'm currently working through the 40 applications I got for 1:1 mentoring sessions 😱 bear with me if you applied, I'll get back to you ASAP! In the meantime... there's something I've been putting off. I’m officially retiring Pitch & Prosper. This was my very first “official” resource, and it’s now helped over 500 freelancers stop scrambling on job boards and start landing clients they actually want to work with. And honestly, the warm pitching method I teach in it has...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! If you missed it, I'm opening up 5 mentoring slots over the next two months to help any of you that are feeling stuck right now.

These will be Q&A, hands-on style sessions where you can bring whatever’s on your mind, and we’ll work through it together. Here’s how it works: 45-minute online session where we dive into your...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! I'm feeling PRODUCTIVE this week. I was planning on "coasting" for the last few months of the year, but it turns out the changing seasons has given me the kick up the bum I needed to start planning more resources for freelancers. I'm opening up a limited amount of mentoring slots over the next couple of months, so let me know if you'd be interested and want first dibs on that. I've also got an idea for a done-for-you marketing workflow that will help you promote your...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! It always feels like September is the start of a new year. It's actually my favourite time of year, so I'm kind of okay with the terrible weather we've been having in the UK. I'm planning to take the last few months of 2025 super easy, I've got my usual clients to write for and I'm cooking up some helpful new resources for my fellow freelancers. Stay tuned! P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared how I stopped tying my value to my productivity. See how here. And don't...

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! August is always a funny one for me. Clients are all over the place and I try to limit my workload for the final two weeks in preparation for my birthday (which is on Sunday 🥳). I'm fully expecting a crash back into reality in September, when I'll be nose to the grindstone for the rest of the year. I'm actually looking forward to it! P.S. This week on Instagram, I shared the 7 client red flags I wish I'd noticed sooner. See them here. And don't forget to give me a...
