Summary
The realities of freelancing as a parent, with Frankie Tortora Season 6, Episode 62: Show Up and Be Heard Today’s episode is a conversation with Frankie all about the realities of freelancing as a parent. We dig into the messy middle of self employment, the myths people don’t talk about, and how success looks very different when you’re balancing business with family life. Frankie shares her own journey into freelancing, why community support has been so important, and the value of creating inclusive spaces for all parents - not just mums. We chat about money, boundaries, burnout, and why taking breaks isn’t a weakness but a necessity.
