The Burnt Out Freelancer
☕️ Hey there, burnt-out freelancer! Welcome to The Burnt Out Freelancer Podcast, the show for entrepreneurial women who need a giant hug, another cup of coffee and realistic advice for navigating this freelance life.
Join hosts LaTara + Molly as they tell it like it is, on the not-so-glamorous side of freelancing that no one really talks about. You know, like how to stop working at midnight, on the weekends or when your kids are asking for the 15 millionth snack 10 minutes before dinner. Or what to do when you've got nothing but tumbleweeds in your inbox and your bank account's dwindling.
Through funny rants, blunt advice, and empowering chats, LaTara + Molly have got your back. They'll teach you how to set boundaries with family and friends who just don't get your freelance business. How to attract aligned clients so you can finally quit wasting time on manic clients. And most importantly, how to create a sustainable freelance biz you actually enjoy, instead of one that has you crying in the shower.
So grab your favorite sweats, a cozy blanket and let's get real about the freelance life. It's time to stop burning out, start scaling up, and build your profitable freelance biz on your own terms. Even if you are a single parent, suffer from chronic illness (like us), anxiety…AKA a millennial or just not clear on how to start. You've got this!
