This year was my first year consistently hitting 10k months as a freelancer… a milestone I once thought could only be reserved for “other people.”
I’ve been freelancing since the start of the pandemic. And as a Sagittarius (Aquarius Rising & Aries Moon IYKYK), watching all my friends work from home on their own schedule stung in a way I couldn’t quite put my finger on.
Meanwhile, I was stuck assembling gift boxes for celebrities and socialites… which, to be fair, was one of the most unexpectedly lovely bridge jobs when I first moved to LA. But deep down, I knew I wanted to build something of my own.
Those friends who were making their own schedule and working by the pool on a Tuesday? They were my Expanders — a To Be Magnetic term for people who show you what’s possible, expanding your subconscious sense of what you can achieve. Their lives were roadmaps.
Fast forward to today: I’ve been working with TBM—my first full-time freelance client—for almost five years, managing their community and social media. I also support incredible clients like Julie Civiello Polier and several other small, women-owned businesses (which, fun fact, was once on my vision board). And this year, I finally feel like I’ve hit my stride as a full-time freelancer.
