Description

I was so organized pre-pandemic. I had the best of both worlds: work and family life. After the lockdown began, I lost my way.
Because I work for myself, I went into business survivor mode. After all, where else would I go besides my home office? The gym was closed. There were no more afternoon escapes for lunch and a movie.
There was this uncertainty in the air: Will clients disappear? When will the next project come in? We didn't know how long the pandemic would last and the "new normal" seemed to have come to stay.
Then I took two weeks off this spring break to enjoy a much-needed vacation, and that's when I realized: I cannot go back to that crazy routine anymore. I need to find that balance I had before. But how could I break all the bad habits that became the norm after early 2020?
Well, it turns out I just needed a little push. And, believe me, I thought it wasn't going to work. But after doing this for a while now and creating a new routine, I feel much more in control. I feel CENTERED.
So, if you're having problems as a freelancer trying to go back to being productive and organized AND having a life, or if you never got to enjoy that feeling of being on top of things pre-pandemic, there's actually a place you can go, without leaving your home office, where you can find structure in a very intuitive and pleasant way.
We can all meet there and focus together, but apart. Distant, but connected. It's a place where you can sit down, get to work, take breaks, and when you're done with your projects and tasks you get to walk away…
Check out this page to find out what worked for me and may work for you, too. Come get CENTERED with me and kick the pandemic funk off your freelancing life.

Let's explore that side of our freelancing careers we don’t talk about too often or very openly: the struggles, the time invested into learning and improving ourselves, the ups and downs, dealing with clients, meeting deadlines, and also the little joys that make up for everything.
