Just a quick chat about side gigs — why I think everyone should have one, what they actually teach you, and why it’s not all beach laptops and lattes. We should all be doing work we love, but sometimes there’s more we want to explore… and that’s where side gigs come in.

Short, real, and a little chaotic. Just how we like it.

What happens when you try to tell people what you do for work? What does your family say?

In this episode, I talk about trying to explain what I do for work…am I speaking another language?

Working from home sounds like a dream — but it’s not just luck. It takes determination, skills, and a whole lot of juggling. I’m sharing the real story behind the “luck” of freelancing and mum life.

Do you get told "how lucky" you are? How do you repsond? Connect me with on socials to chat all about it.

What happens when you're juggling freelancing, parenting, and about five different side gigs?

You hit record.

In this quick intro, I share why I'm starting this podcast with zero script, minimal time, and probably a snack in hand.

Hi, I’m Smaragda, and welcome to I Had Plans - the podcast where I talk honestly about freelance life, mum life, side gigs, and all the glorious chaos that comes with trying to do it all.

Got a funny “plans gone sideways” moment, a freelance horror story, or just want to say hi? Hit me up: info@lectimo.com - I’ll probably reply between snacks and client calls.
