10 Things I Hate About Freelancing (Live at Scottish Creative Network) | The Chatty Freelancer

Back in August 2025, I took the stage at Scottish Creative Network to deliver a talk that was slightly chaotic, mildly poetic, and brutally honest. From scarcity mindset and saying yes to the wrong clients, to the constant battle of defending your rates and feeling undervalued as a creative, I spill all in the 10 things I hate about freelancing. Spoiler: I doesn't actually hate freelancing. Not even a little bit. Not even at all. This is Part 1 of a two-part Scottish Creative Network special — catch the Q&A chat with Greig and Ross in Part 2. 🎟️ Fancy coming to a Scottish Creative Network night? Links to their socials and tickets are below. The next event is on May 20th at the Social Hub, Glasgow — I will most likely be there, so come say hello! https://www.instagram.com/scottishcreativenetwork/
