Are you a freelancer or remote worker… but still feel trapped when life gets hard?
In this solo episode, I share why I built a flexible working business that actually supported me through a recent family emergency - without asking for permission, sacrificing income, or burning out.
Whether you're a freelancer, a digital nomad, or juggling remote work with everything life throws your way, this one is for you to help you answer the ultimate freedom question - Can your business support you when life gets hard?
🎙️ In this episode, I talk about:
- The benefits of remote work and how they showed up during a recent family emergency
- Why flexible working hours are non-negotiable for me now
- The dangers of building a business that actually feels like another job
- What to change if your online business idea doesn’t support your lifestyle
If you're building a business for freedom, make sure you don’t ignore the foundations. Your business needs to support you through all life circumstances. You’ll walk away from this episode with a whole new understanding of what it means to be a freelancer or online business owner with real freedom and flexibility - plus the permission to adapt your business to work for you.
