I'm back❗ It's been a whirlwind summer for me. As a digital nomad, freelancing has allowed me to travel the world while still making money.💲💲 And it's also meant that I've spent time away from my family. So this summer, after over 2 years away,, I went home to attend family events and basically reconnect with my loved ones.💗 My immediate family lives in St. Louis where I spent a little over a month. My extended family is in Chicago where I was born and raised. Then, I attended a family reunion in Texas, where I also spent quality time with my sister and her adult kids and grandchildren.☺️ Since I transitioned out of a 9 to 5 to a freelancer, I was able to pause my work life, not for 1 or 2 weeks of PTO, but the entire summer. This is what I craved in my freedom journey. The ability to live my life on my terms, not someone else's mandated schedule.🎯 I'm currently in Southeast Asia🌍, house and pet sitting a couple of adorable pups (this is my favorite travel hack--message me about it if you like pets🐶), and also getting back to work on my freelancing gigs. Like last year, I've chosen to do more contract-related work... projects that have a specific time-span, while also working on my business. So freelancers, what's your freedom dream? Have you started living it? Do you have a plan? I'd love to help you with that. Comment below and share where you are in your journey.👇 Make your future happen now.✨ 👉Have you taken the challenge?
