Today I want to talk about revenue, and more specifically, how to increase profits without grinding harder.

A lot of freelancers focus on revenue. Profit, though? Profit is the number that actually matters. Profit is what’s left after expenses.

One of the easiest ways to increase profits is simply to stop money from leaking out.

This episode gives you simple, practical steps to keep more, stop the leaks and make sure the money you already earn stays in your account.

How do we recognize the difference between a good business expense, and hard-earned money we're letting slip through our fingers?

Today’s run or walk will help clear mental space while we talk money, the stress it can cause us, and smarter creative business habits.

Running posture checklist is here.

Today’s topic is rest, sleep really— and why we desperately need more of it. I'm going to be honest with you my fellow freelancers. We’re. Not. Resting. Enough.

Creative freelancers live with a constant hum of mental noise. Sometimes, of course, we’re working late because there’s a real deadline. That happens. But when staying up late becomes the default, that’s the sign something else is going on. Whether you’re a voice actor, designer, writer, animator, video editor—your work literally depends on the freshness of your mind. So I'm going to coach you through a stretching and mobility workout designed to relax your muscles and mind after a long day.

This episode gives you simple, practical steps to reduce mental stimulation, let go of guilt and FOMO, and create a nighttime routine that eases you into a restful sleep.

If you want to follow along with the exercises from today’s workout, here are the guides: child's pose, and cat-cow— all beginner-friendly and equipment-free.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a feeling every freelancer eventually faces: disappointment in your business. Maybe you built a solid plan — marketing, auditions, outreach, networking — and still… your week, month, or even your quarter didn’t deliver the results you expected.

So what can you actually do when you hit a slump? How do you reset your mindset, rebuild momentum, and get your creative confidence back?

This episode gives you practical steps to move through disappointment, reconnect with your strengths, and return to your client work with more clarity, discipline, and resilience.

If you want to follow along with the exercises from today’s workout, here are the guides: glute bridge hold, side plank, wall sit, and push up hold — all beginner-friendly and equipment-free.
