In the latest episode of Life in Food with Laura Price, I speak to Sian-Meades Williams, founder of the Freelance Writing Jobs newsletter and author of the new non-fiction book The Pyjama Myth: The Freelance Writer's Survival Guide. Like me, Sian is a food-obsessed freelancer who tailors her life around meals and spends an inordinate amount of time 'peruse bouching' (that's Sian's term for menu-browsing), so we had much to discuss. In the episode, we talk about everything from figuring out what success looks like as a freelancer to banana sandwiches, original Hula Hoops and 'happy soup'. This is a worthwhile listen not just for the self-employed, but for anyone grappling with working from home or simply trying to discover what they want from life.
