Your “nice girl” energy might be holding you back. I used to think being the “good girl” freelancer meant more clients and success. Spoiler: it got me clients, but the wrong ones. Underpaying, disrespectful, boundary-crossing clients drained my energy and nearly made me quit freelancing altogether.

In this discussion, I unpack the costly mindset traps of being a pick-me freelancer, why trying to please everyone keeps you stuck, broke, and miserable, and how shifting your mindset and setting hard boundaries changed everything for me.

If you’re a freelancer, a woman leaving corporate, or a solopreneur tired of feeling undervalued and exhausted, this is your wake-up call and roadmap to real freedom.

Freelancing isn’t about pleasing others; it’s about owning your value, your time, and your life.
