As I’ve mentioned before, back in September, I went the freelance writer/social media marketing route. It’s been such a rewarding and educational experience. To do what I want to do, finally, for the first time in my adult life has been so incredible. Going freelance has given me the confidence in knowing that I’m capable [...]
