The How I… Diaries

Hello fellow creatives! My name is Catherine. This podcast is all about documenting my own journey to solopreneurship and creating a place to share useful real-life experiences that only we CREATIVES will understand. Debugging any fears and doubts you have, and supporting you on your way to a lifestyle doing what you love. I'm sharing everything I wish I knew earlier and the tips and tricks I gain every day from my own freelance work. Binge-friendly content that will make you take the leap of faith and send you on your way to building a meaningful life that fulfills your purpose.
