Last year was a busy one for me while this year wasn’t but I managed to keep myself busy with opening my own online shop on my website and creating products for my pop up shop in a local donut shop. It was a good distraction, nonetheless but I know what you meant. I still feel anxious for having a dry year this time. Let’s hang in there together 💪💪🍀🍀

Why don't you start sharing yours? If anyone find the topic relevant, I'm sure they will contribute & join the discussion, or even start the discussion on their own.

I agree

Yes please! Imposter syndrome is killing me 😫

Ugh, I feel you! Everything went upside down when I didn't have clients for months. I felt anxious and started doubting everything; this is my job, though, so life must goes on.

Absolutely! Freelancing can be so overwhelming at times, with the constant uncertainty and pressure. It’s not all about success stories—there are struggles, burnout, and anxiety that don’t get talked about enough. I think sharing the highs and lows would make us all feel more connected and less alone in this journey.

My favorite is explaining to people how hard it can be to have a lot of work on my plate as a freelancer and the boiler plate “well it’s a good problem to have!” Replies 😂

This was my most recent, vulnerability transparency moment, about I was feeling the other day. Fellow illustrator 🫶🏽

Thinking "omg I have too much work on my plate" while simultaneously being scared that soon you might have no work at all 😭
