Your Career Journey
How I Built a Flexible Freelance Career & Found Freedom with Kellie Floyd 🌍✍️
Kellie is a Marketing & Comms consultant and writer, who joins me to talk about her journey from full-time agency and corporate roles to freelance. And her newly found passion for travel writing.
Kellie built the first part of her career in Agency, primarily in Account Management. It was when she had a family that she found the lack of flexibility challenging, she was able to work part time but it affected the type of Accounts she worked on, and she ultimately didn’t enjoy the work as much.
Kellie talks openly about the challenge of balancing her career aspirations with having a family and how that led her to burn out.
For her, freelance was an option she wanted to explore, to see whether it would give her the flexibility and time with her family, whilst also allowing her to grow her career and work in a slightly different direction.
She talks about embracing the unknown and jumping off the cliff as being key parts of her freelance journey. What she's learned from different types of projects and what life as a freelancer has actually been like.
The other thing it’s enabled her to do is focus on her love of writing, and she has expanded her work to include travel writing. We talk about what she's learned about pitching, putting herself out there and where her favourite travel destination is.
