This week on the Freelance AF Podcast, your favourite freelancers are diving headfirst into the wild world of professional communication for the bold and scrappy small biz owner.

Here’s the thing: the way you communicate says everything about how you do business. And let’s be real; some people (not Sean, nope, never Sean, absolutely not Sean…) get majorly turned off if your vibe isn’t hitting right.

From tailoring your tone to your audience, to picking a style that actually matches your brand, to keeping things consistent and clear, we’re serving up all the juicy tips to help you say what you mean and actually get heard.

Struggle with this? Same! (Have you met our podcast?) But hey, stick with us and you’ll be communicating like the boss you were always meant to be.

And remember: do as we say, not as we do.

This week's pour is Dutch Crumble Hard Apple Cider from London, Ontario's hometown hero, Heeman's Cellar!

Do you hear that? Oh, it’s just us…Talking to Ourselves. Again.

Yep, we’ve said this before, but some advice is too good not to put on repeat. These are the nuggets we wish we could whisper to our past selves when we were just getting started, whether that was 9 years ago or, let’s be real, 18 months back.

This episode is jam-packed with the pep talk every entrepreneur needs: be patient, trust your gut, stand your ground, say no when you need to, build that hype squad, and jump at the right opportunities. Freelancing takes thick skin and quick reflexes, but don’t forget; you also need to pause, breathe, and hype yourself up.

So grab a sticky note, a vision board, or heck, a megaphone, because these reminders are worth keeping front and center. You got this, babe!

Ooooh baby, your favourite Freelancers are back with another juicy interview, and this one’s a total Giftii!

We’re sitting down with the powerhouse herself, Katie Brooks, founder of Giftii Canada, gifter extraordinaire, and queen of turning “just because” into jaw-dropping wow. With her hubby by her side, Katie has built a biz that’s all about heart, thoughtfulness, and making people feel like the main character with every box.

From championing Canadian makers before it was trendy, to weaving family, tradition, and pure magic into every curated gift, Katie’s not just sending boxes; she’s building connections. Trust us, you’re gonna want in on this magical conversation!
