I specialize in working with creative freelancers and solopreneurs. With a background in advertising and marketing, creative folks are my jam! Whether commercial or fine artists, I’ve worked with ‘em both. That’s not to say other solopreneurs—from real estate agents to life coaches—haven’t come to me for coaching as well, because they have. And we totally jelled, too.

I come to the table with more than 25 years of continuous full-time freelance experience (with no stopping to take a f/t job in between). And I continue to freelance to this day, as I feel it’s important to keep a pulse on the climate.

I worked on both the agency and corporate sides before finding my love for freelancing. While self-employed, I’ve experienced the highs and the lows. From big wins to devastating losses, I know what it all feels like. And I’ve learned what works and what doesn’t.

Here, you won’t find me sugarcoating things. Because, let’s face it: Like anything, being self-employed isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Don’t believe anyone who promises you that it is … or one who claims they can make you “wildly successful” or help you earn six figures your first year. That’s likely not gonna happen. It’s a building-block process.

If you want the honest truth and pure authenticity, I’m your gal. This is 100% a no-B.S. zone.

Here, you’ll find a safe space. No matter your race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), sex, gender / identity / expression, sexual orientation, ability, background, etc. … if you’re neurodivergent, have mental health challenges or are dealing with personal issues … this is a no-judgement zone. People of all walks of life are welcome here. And everything you tell me is and will be kept confidential.

Lastly, my network runs extremely deep. If I don’t have the answer to a question you have, I bet I know someone who does. And I’m happy to reach out to find those answers for you.

It's up to you … and what works best with your schedule and budget. Choose to meet weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, or even quarterly. Just be sure to select some sort of rhythm to ensure you don’t lose momentum. Because life gets busy, you’ll be asked to schedule all of your sessions prior to us starting. A standing appointment also helps with accountability! If you ever need to reschedule a session, not to worry. You can certainly do so.

While it is an investment, it’s probably less than you think. At least around here, anyway. Because I’ve been in your shoes, I try really hard to keep things affordable. Each option is customized to each client’s specific needs and situation. Discounts are offered for those who pay upfront. Quantity discounts and payment plans are also available.

Insider Tip: If you do the work, you’re more likely to make positive changes in your freelance business much faster than if you were to go at it alone … and recoup the money you make on this investment!

Question is: How can you not?

Listen, I get it. I was once in your shoes, too. And then I learned the tough lesson of, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.” There’s so much truth to that.

But anything that can better your business is going to be a lifesaver.

If you want to get ahead, you’ve got to invest in yourself. Treat your business like a business. And find the money to do the things you want to do.

Yes. Call it homework, action items, a to-do list. We just gotta. Because there’s no way we could possibly cover everything during our sessions, you’ll be asked to work on a handful of items between calls. This could be anything from working on your branding and determining your packages to writing a business plan. Keep this in mind when you schedule your sessions upfront to ensure you have ample time in between to get the homework done.

Yes! Each session is recorded on the cloud and sent to you after each meeting. You can download these to your desktop to keep them for future access.

That’s a great question! Here are 7 ways to get the most impact out of your freelance coaching investment.

No. And if you believe anyone who promises you that, I’d like to sell you a bridge. Seriously, though. Coaching is a process that each individual is personally responsible for. Those who show up, heed the advice, and do the work have the best chances of success.

Sure! I’d love to help you with your copywriting, social media, and / or branding needs. I’ve been known to write a client or two’s business and marketing plans before as well.
