On this episode of Financial Conversation, Kayla, Kristi, Chonce, and Erin are joined by their amazing mentor, Catherine Alford, to talk about their lives as freelancers.

Cat is a fabulous mother to adorable twins, and with her husband in medical school, she runs a tight ship. She earned six figures in 2015 and was the perfect guest to have on to give a raw, unfiltered look into what it takes to be a successful, full-time freelancer. 

While none of us regret our decisions to become freelancers (to be fair, there are a lot of tears and self-doubt involved), it's not all Netflix, junk food, and pajamas or yoga pants everyday (okay, that last part is true). We're sharing all in this episode to give you a crystal clear idea of what to expect if you want to take this path.
