In this solo episode, (recorded in my hotel room in London!) I'm sharing three memberships I'm currently part of and genuinely love; and why I think memberships can be such a powerful way to build community as a freelancer or small business owner.
When you run your own business, it can often feel like the people around you don't fully understand what you do. That's why finding spaces where people get it can make such a difference; not just for practical advice, but for encouragement, accountability, and support.
I talk through three memberships that have supported me in different ways, from helping me stay consistent with marketing, to finding community, to navigating the realities of running a business alongside family life.
If you've been craving more connection or support in your business, this episode will give you a few great places to start.
Key Takeaways
- Surrounding yourself with people who truly understand your work changes everything. When you're in the right community, you feel supported, encouraged, and far less alone in your business.
- Simplifying your marketing makes consistency possible. When the actions feel manageable, you're far more likely to show up; and those small, regular efforts add up over time.
- Visibility matters most when you feel busiest. Staying consistent, even in small ways, helps you break out of the feast-or-famine cycle and build long-term stability.
- The rooms you put yourself in shape the opportunities you receive. When you're connected to the right people, referrals, collaborations, and clients tend to follow naturally.
- Your business becomes more sustainable when your support fits your life. The right community will meet you where you are; whether you're growing, freelancing, or balancing work alongside family life.
