13: Freelance Parenting and The Power of Community with Frankie Tortora
What’s it really like to freelance with kids in the mix?
Graphic designer, community founder and Mum of two, Frankie Tortora reveals the highs, the lows and the lessons learned along the way.
Frankie shares her lived experience navigating time pressures, setting boundaries and balancing work with parenting. She also reflects on emotional wellbeing, the importance of feeling heard and being amongst other supportive parents who are in the same boat as you!
In our conversation, we explore:
✨ The practical challenges of freelancing as a parent, from childcare to financial systems
✨ Why emotional support often matters more than solutions
✨ Setting boundaries between work and life while running your own business
✨ Reflections on confidence, societal expectations, and encouraging young girls
✨ Building community and supporting other parents through shared experiences
About the Guest:
Frankie Tortora is the Founder of Doing It For The Kids, an online community for freelance parents trying to make flexible working work. DIFTK won’t teach you how to become a ‘successful’ freelancer or how to find ‘balance’ (what does that even mean?!). There’s no course. No coaching.
It is all about CONNECTION - camaraderie, collaboration, virtual high fives and a lorra, lorra laughs!
You'll find Frankie on Linkedin or instagram and to find out more about her community visit the Doing It For The Kids website.
About The Host:
I'm Victoria Phipps - a Mum of two, family photographer, charity co-founder, marketing person and now podcaster! 🎙️
I was raised by a nurturing Mother and an entrepreneurial Father and have inherited traits from both, so the tension between ambition and motherhood is one I grapple with on a daily basis!
I’m fascinated to hear the stories of other women on a similar path, who are striving to build thriving businesses whilst being present for their children. It's a tough juggle, but I hope the conversations shared on this podcast help Mums in business feel less alone and inspired to keep going in pursuit of their dreams.
Head to the Mum Means Business Podcast website for full show notes.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the topics discussed in this conversation, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @victoria_phipps or @mummeansbusinesspodcast.
