Feeling tired, run-down, or like your motivation packed its bags and ghosted you? Good news; this week we’re serving up a full-on Motivation Makeover!

Motivation might be our ride-or-die, but wow does it love to play hard to get. It’s not magic; it’s a muscle. And we’re talking how to grow it, flex it, and keep it from tapping out when life gets a little “nope.”

Sean and Michelle are diving into what motivation actually is, how to build it from scratch, and how to keep that fire lit so you can keep showing up like the boss you are.

Because let’s be real: down days happen. What matters is how fast you can bounce back, dust off, and strut right on through.

Buckle up, because it’s time to get Motivated AF.

This week on the Freelance AF Podcast, your favourite duo is lacing up their metaphorical cleats and diving headfirst into the world of red and green flags – and calling in a surprise new colour off the bench!

From dream clients who make you wanna pop champagne to collaborators who make you wanna fake bad Wi-Fi, every interaction in business comes with its own set of signals. But here’s the kicker: sometimes you’re the one waving the flag.

Sean and Michelle are calling the plays and breaking down the cues that scream “let’s do this forever” versus the ones that yell “run for the hills”. That way hopefully you can spot the signs and chart the appropriate course before it’s too late.

So…are you the ultimate teammate or the walking red flag your group chat warns people about?

Class is officially in session this week on the Freelance AF Podcast. And our teacher? The brilliant Jodie Buttigieg!

Jodie’s the director and lead educator at Neubloom London, a neuro-affirming school shaking up the “one-size-fits-all” education system and proving that learning should actually fit the learner.

She’s spilling the tea on what it really takes to build a school from scratch, the highs and lows of bucking tradition, and what advocating for holistic education truly looks like in action.

And of course, it wouldn’t be a Freelance AF episode without a little chaos: tech fails (thanks, Sean), caffeine-fueled energy (looking at you, Michelle), and the unforgettable phrase “skin babies” (we’ll let Jodie explain that one).

So grab your favourite notebook (or your emotional support coffee) because we’re about to get educational AF.
