There’s one part of my life in particular that would have been significantly more difficult if I hadn’t had the flexibility of freelancing these last few years: my international, cross-cultural relationship.
When a sudden change in circumstances forced me to shift from being a stay-at-home mom of three to contributing financially to my high-needs family, I never thought I’d eventually be making more than ever before as a freelance voiceover artist.
There seems to be a general perception that freelancing is inherently insecure, that no matter how long or successfully you’ve been doing it you’re always just a few beats away from a devastatingly bad month. But this isn’t true.
Just because the career is amazingly flexible doesn’t mean it’s magical. It’s pretty dang hard to design and execute a full-fledged career as a freelancer while simultaneously parenting.
