In this episode, I want to have an honest conversation about something I’ve been noticing in the freelance world: the growing gap between freelancers who are thriving and those who are struggling.


I’ll dive into why this divide exists, the psychological impact it can have, and what we can do (both as individuals and as a community) to bridge it.


 


We’ll explore:


 




  • Why freelancing feels harder than ever for some people right now




  • What’s helping certain freelancers thrive even in the same economy




  • The disconnect (and sometimes tension) between these two groups




  • How both sides can approach things with more empathy, honesty, and support
