Are you tired of feast-and-famine freelance cycles and clients who treat you like an order taker?
In this episode of The Talk Freelance To Me® Podcast, host Ashley Cisneros Mejia sits down with powerhouse freelance coach and writer Mandy Ellis for a truth-packed conversation about what it really takes to grow a sustainable freelance writing business.
We didn’t sugarcoat anything.
We covered what most creative freelancers wrestle with behind the scenes: boundary-setting, bad-fit clients, burnout, pricing confusion, feast-or-famine cycles, the pressure to be “always on,” and the shame that creeps in when you’re secretly ready to burn it all down and start fresh. Mandy gets it. And she brings real strategies and mindset shifts that can help you find your footing again.
THIS is the episode to help you reset and move forward with clarity. Don’t miss it.
