Girl! I lost track of the number of times I said “SAME!” out loud while reading this. Also tired of the freelance life, also struggling with my brand and my offerings not growing, also ready to quit EVERYTHING and when you said you feel like you’re doing too much yet not enough— I felt that in my SOUL. Thank you for your transparency and for all you do. Next time I’m in Chicago we need to meet up for pasta!
This resonates so much I could cry 😫. These are WILD times, and honestly, I am questioning everything. But I'm choosing to put my faith to work and know that what is for me, will not miss me 🙏🏿. We got this!
YES! What is for us will not miss us! 🙌🏾 (although some times I feel like I need some of those flashy things they use to direct planes at the airport, like heyyy, over here!!). Entrepreneurship is SUCH a test and testament of faith!
I am hoping I can stay paid for a little longer, but my spaghetti is crusty and starting to turn green. I’m so tired and I’ve been holding so much back on my page because that same in-person community I’ve been ragging on is still trash or too sick to function. And some of them are also, like me in federal layoff/defund/erase/dismantling hell. Many who tried to clown me for saying we were on our way here. Or others who think I deserve the leopard eating my face.
I say this to say a lot of our shared audience is down bad and it’s not our fault. It may be lean for a while, but we have spirit practice to hold us up.
Okay, I know it's not funny, but I def LOL'd at crusty spaghetti! On the one hand, so glad to know I'm not alone. On the other hand, whew, chile. Definitely leaning on that spirit practice & please don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of service to you. We all we got!

OMG, YES, PLEEEEASE! I know of several delicious spots, so just say when. We're all in this together, High School Musical style! 🫶🏾
I am completely in the same spot, feeling so lost and depressed about where I'm at right now. Thanks for making me feel less alone!
FWIW, a lot of freelancers have been messaging me on the side about being in the same boat. We’re all in this together! 💜
This is so relatable—and I use the "throw spaghetti at the wall" expression more often than I'd care to admit lol.
It's just so fitting! 😂
