We get into:
👉 Why freelancers often feel guilty taking time off
👉 The pressure of running a business when everything stops if you stop
👉 Why rest can feel like something you have to earn
👉 The hidden 9–5 mindset many creatives still carry into freelance life
👉 How overworking quietly becomes normalised when you work for yourself
👉 And the uncomfortable truth that sometimes… we’re the ones creating the pressure
