#247 Playing Big as a Freelancer: Lessons from Tara Mohr’s Empowering Book with Emily Reagan

Are you stuck in a cycle of playing small—waiting for the perfect time to speak up, launch that offer, or finally raise your rates? Yeah, I’ve been there. 

In this solo episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite reads that gave me the push I didn’t know I needed: Playing Big by Tara Mohr. And let me tell you, this book was written for freelancers like us. I’m breaking down the biggest takeaways that changed how I lead, pitch, and show up in my business. It’s time to get out of your own way and step into that next-level version of you (and your freelancer business).

Listen to learn more about:

• The two voices inside your head: your Inner Mentor & your Inner Critic (and how to quiet the wrong one)
• Why waiting to feel “ready” is actually holding you back in your freelance business
• How to reframe fear and self-doubt so they don’t sabotage your goals
• Tara Mohr's concepts of self-promotion vs. visibility and the importance of leaning into your purpose as a freelancer
• How Playing Big is different—and more realistic—than hustle culture advice

If you’re second-guessing yourself or just want someone to tell you it’s okay to take up space and charge what you’re worth, this episode will light a fire under you. Playing Big isn’t just a book, it’s a mindset shift. And trust me, your future self (and your bank account) will thank you.
