Episode 33: What No One Tells You About Working For Yourself
from SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY · host Renate Engelbrecht
This episode is a little different… It’s just you and me, diving into the truth about working for yourself. Not the Instagram version, not the highlight reel — the real, layered, beautiful, messy, and wildly rewarding journey of building a creative business from scratch.If you’ve ever wondered what it actually takes, what no one tells you, or what I’ve learnt while juggling a blog, a podcast, a freelance writing career, being a wife and mom, the odd social media post and some consulting on the side — this one’s for you. I’m answering the questions I get asked most often, from clients and curious listeners and even some close family members. While much of this episode might be based on my work under the SUITCASE & CHARDONNAY brand, it’s relevant to anyone building a business, dreaming of working for themselves or wanting to understand how it works to juggle it all.
