Freelance Diaries: The Art of Creative Living – Details, episodes & analysis

This week's episode starts with a little peek into my proposal and how I structure it in a way that makes it easy for the client to say YES to work with you + some tips along the way that make the whole client process easier. ✨

In the second part, I dive deeper into how yoga has changed how I view my business in the best way possible and how to enjoy the progress you're in right now instead of impatiently waiting to reach a certain goal.

Lots of love to you,

How crazy is it that 2023 is coming to an end? My year has been so eventful and I wanted to take a moment to reflect and go through it all with you, the ups and downs and everything in between.

I also announce a little surprise destination I will be moving to next year and let me tell you, I would have never thought to move there haha but I'm excited now!

Get well into the new year and see you in 2024 ✨

Merry Christmas everybody! 🎄

Today I will show you my way of setting goals for the next year, different questions I ask myself to keep myself accountable during the year, and why vision boards work so well!

This was a fun episode to record and I can't wait to take time between Christmas and New Year to create my vision board and take that cozy time to reflect some more and prepare for the new year 🌞

Have a beautiful time with your friends and family!

Until next Sunday 🧡

Hello there, it's been some time. I'm very sorry, life (and some self doubts) just got in the way. I'm back though with full forces and motivation, and this week I catch you guys up on my life the past 3 weeks, why I went to Germany, some adventures in Portugal, and most importantly, about finding your path in your career as a freelance designer. You will witness me struggling saying "did a little" like 4 times, which I didn't edit out for entertainment purposes. I also talk about Instagram and how the platform has changed from being social, to being a marketing machinery and ways we can make it all a bit more human again.

Enjoy this episode, I'm very happy to be back! 🧡

Until next Sunday (this time for real!) 🧡

Hey there, friends! Fall has finally arrived in Lisbon, and I couldn't be more excited. It's the perfect weather to stay in, enjoy a warm drink, and have a chat. So, grab your favorite beverage and join me for today's episode.

Today, we're diving into the world of AI and how it's become an integral part of my business. I'm using it for creating social media content, crafting catchy phrases for Call to Actions (CTAs), and even sparking ideas for my passion projects. I will share some of my prompts with you in this episode 🌞

I also get a bit more personal again and talk about dealing with social anxiety as an introvert in social gatherings and stepping out of my comfort zone.
