The inspiration for this episode was a recent debacle involving LLM hallucinations. It had me thinking about AI workflows a year ago versus today, and I found myself questioning where we’ll be a year from now….

You’ve seen the videos in your feed. Use AI to write a novel in only hours! But, does it work? I put two models to the test to see if I could generate a readable novel in less than a day.

Ever felt stuck in survival mode? You're not alone—and you don’t have to stay there. In this episode, I break down what I’m calling freelance poverty thinking and how to shift into a more strategic, sustainable mindset as a freelance writer.

Hear tips and questions to ask yourself to shift out of a “grind or die” mindset and into something more realistic, more sustainable, and more aligned with how you want to live.

You’ll also hear two stories from the road to full-time freelancing: one about the time I burnt out on low-paying content work, and another about a colleague who finally gave herself permission to quit the grind and build a calmer, more aligned freelance life.

If you’re ready to stop scrambling and start leading a focused freelancing life, this is your mindset reset.
