From Layoffs to Level-Ups: The Realities of Freelancing with Brigitte Truong
Description
The freelance life looks shiny on Instagram—but what does it really take to build a multi-hyphenate career you can sustain? In this episode, I sit down with powerhouse host/producer/creator Brigitte Truong to unpack the business, the burnout, and the boundaries behind modern freelancing. Brigitte Truong knows the power of wearing all the hats. We unpack scarcity vs. abundance in Canada’s small media market, why “you don’t ask, you don’t get” is every freelancer’s mantra, and how to set phone limits before screen time wrecks your mental health. Brigitte also shares how she built Rally, a youth festival for digital wellness—proof you can pivot, evolve, and create purpose-driven work on your own terms.Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on the rollercoaster for years, this conversation will help you price better, pitch smarter, protect your energy, and actually enjoy the ride.
