Freelancing Freedom: Crafting Your Career While Caring for Your Health

It's not easy to manage both a career and chronic illness like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohn's disease, or ulcerative colitis). We need tools and tips in order to keep everything moving and succeed at work while caring for ourselves. I talk with Jen Hubley Luckwaldt about how freelancing can be a valid way of meeting both goals. Jen shares her journey from traditional employment to freelancing, including how it offers her flexibility in balancing work, health, and family. We talk about the importance of setting boundaries with clients, how to identify your marketable skills, and building a supportive community. Jen emphasizes the value of an abundance mindset in freelancing and offers practical tips for finding work and managing time effectively. If you've ever wondered how you can manage to work while still making it to infusions and appointments: we have a roadmap for you. Episode highlights:
  • Managing a career while living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Challenges of maintaining traditional full-time employment with chronic illness
  • Advantages of freelancing, including flexibility and work-life balance
  • Importance of setting boundaries with clients
  • Identifying marketable skills for freelancing
  • The role of community and support in a freelance career
  • Strategies for effective communication and feedback in professional settings
  • Tools and resources for freelancers to enhance productivity
