Freelancing as a designer can be an amazing career path—but let’s be real, it comes with its fair share of annoyances. Late payments, ghosting clients, unpredictable referrals, and the dreaded feast-or-famine cycle can make running your business feel overwhelming.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

  • How to confidently handle late payments (without feeling awkward).
  • Why you shouldn’t depend on referrals for a steady income.
  • The right way to follow up with potential clients (without being pushy).
  • How to spot toxic clients before they drain your energy.
  • Ways to stabilize your income and avoid dry months.

If you’ve ever struggled with client issues or want to streamline your business for less stress, this episode is for you. Tune in and take control of your freelance career!
