Freelance Fitness is your weekly 10-minute movement break designed for creative freelancers, voice actors, designers, writers, editors, and anyone who spends their days creating, producing, and problem-solving. Hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost, each episode blends mindset coaching, creative productivity, and simple exercises you can do anywhere.

Today, we’re talking about scarcity thinking. That quiet belief that there’s only so much opportunity to go around.

A lot of creative freelancers carry this belief without even realizing it.

Scarcity thinking shrinks your decisions.

It leads to:

• underpricing because you’re afraid to lose the job
• overworking because you feel replaceable
• saying yes to projects that drain you
• copying others instead of trusting your voice

This episode gives you simple, practical steps to help you stick to your goals, bypass short-term thinking and play the long game.

Today’s run, or walk, will hopefully dispel the scarcity thinking myth, liberating that defensive, bitter energy for much better use.

Progression isn’t about speed. It’s about staying honest as the terrain changes.
