Passion has always been my driving force in my career with some of my best projects coming from clients who discovered my work through these passion projects.

Outside of dealing with the loss of something or someone, having a child is without question, one of the hardest things you will experience in a lifetime. You think to yourself, yeah, this will be hard but I can do it (with enthusiasm of coarse)! You think, many people have kids and they all seem to do alright, how hard can it be? People in worse circumstances have been having kids forever and they seem to be just fine. What doesn’t seem to get through your head when you are on the other side of the fence is how hard it actually is.

I oftentimes wonder, what is it truly triggers the sense of contentment. What is it that pulls at the right strings inside you that gives you that sense of euphoria from simply living?

Career pivots require self awareness, networking, accountability, honesty and an action plan.

Working as a freelancer poses many challenges but also many rewards. I have learned a ton so far as a freelancer and looking back now, I only wish I would have known some of the things I do now. What I want to do with this post is shed light on some of the things I have learned.

I’ve questioned whether specializing or expanding a skill set leads to more success. It’s a battle I struggle with everyday and I continually wonder if I would be at a different point in my career if I was to have specialized from the start.
