Ever felt that twinge of guilt when you turn down a "quick coffee" because deep down, you know your time is worth more?
In this talk, I'll take you on a journey through my own experiences, from the early, over-eager days of saying yes to every coffee invite, to the present where I've mastered the art of graciously declining while keeping my connections robust and my calendar in check.
This episode is peppered with humor and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from setting boundaries that ensure our expertise isn't just appreciated but compensated.
Being freelance does NOT mean you work for free!
Learn how a cheeky Instagram post about consulting fees became a viral sensation, and more importantly, how it underscores the message that our time as freelancers is precious. I'll share practical tips for balancing professional commitments with personal time—because no one wants to spend their weekends playing catch-up when they could be sipping mimosas at brunch, right?
