Grace Abbott, Jessica Ashley Gill · How To Go Freelance by Grace Abbott

I’m so excited to launch this live series with Jessica Ashley Gill – brilliant friend, coworker, creative collaborator. She and I could talk for hours and hours about everything deep and existential – and then pivot right into business strategy without blinking an eye.

We worked together for 5+ years building To Be Magnetic – where she is now the Chief Content Officer + host of the widely loved Expanded Podcast.

✦ A few things we talked about

  • What to do if you feel like you have unexpressed potential that needs an outlet

  • Our personal journeys showing up online

  • Why your nervous system freaks out when you start getting visibility

  • Having a niche vs being multi-hypenate – and why each is valuable for different intentions

  • The “share from scars, not wounds” rule for authentic content

  • Being consistent vs letting go of rigidity, – and why one might be your medicine right now

  • Energetically opening your doors for biz and signaling to the universe what you want

  • Don’t pressure your platform to pay you before it’s ready

  • Learning to share what’s alive inside of you instead of feeling like you have to have it all figured out

✦ More wisdom from Jess

Instagram / Youtube / Substack / Podcast

✦ Tune in next: You don’t need a niche to start! Building a portfolio career & being a multi-hyphenate

Our next guest will be Anna Mackenzie. Genius creator of the portfolio career build method (which I can’t wait to hear about!), startup advisor, mentor & writer behind Anna Macks Stack… We got to meet IRL a few weeks ago at her LA meetup, and she’s just as gracious, smart, and lovely in person as she is on Substack!
