- Set Yourself Up for Less Stress While Working
Do you want tips to help you destress and decompress during stressful work times? Peyton and Eileen are here with a minisode with a bunch of ideas to help all the freelancers and corporate workers get in a better mindset!
Here are the tips we discuss in length in this episode!
After work 30 min “wind-down”
Taking time after work to set up your to-dos for the next days, clean up your office, last email responses etc
Have something to look forward to after work that YOU want to do
Read a book, do some self-care, go out with friends, whatever it is - just have something that takes your focus that is important/feels good to you
Set an “off-time” and stick to it
Commit to a time where you “clock out” at the end of the day, or when you take breaks during the day, don’t be working on the side.
Physical activity
Whether you go for a walk or do your workout then, it can help calm you down after work
Talk to a friend or family member, make plans
Whether you call or facetime a friend or go hangout with a family member, doing something that takes you out of work mode will help you check out
Make lists
It feels so good to have all your to-do’s listed out and cross them off when they’re accompished. You will feel very productive and it’s good for your mindset.

31 min - Corporate and Freelance Client Red Flags, Green Flags & Beige Flags
If you're not familiar with the trend of red flags, green flags and beige flags, let us explain!
Red flags: These are signs that something is NOT good. They can often signs of toxic or negative behavior and when you see these red flags in a potential client, RUN!
Green flags: These are positive signs you get from a client and traits that keep you working with them and enjoying your relationship with them.
Beige flags: Beige flags are neither good or bad, but are seen as quirky and weird things a client may do. They aren't deal breakers, but they will likely cause you to roll your eyes or cause some annoyances.
In this new episode of the WOTW pod, Peyton and Eileen share red, green and beige flags with clients they've worked with or almost worked with! Listen closely and see if you experience these same traits with your freelance clients, OR if you work a full-time job, your employer.
