From spinning tunes in a gold sequined dress as DJ Super Kat, to organising a national conference for people in the blog and creative industries, Kat Molesworth has a lot going on.

She’s a mother of three and a freelance photographer and blogger. She speaks at events, consults with brands, and runs a YouTube channel and podcast. She’s also the founder of Blogtacular - a London-based annual conference with a list of sponsors that includes Microsoft and MailChimp.

Despite having so many strings to her bow, Kat knows how it feels to face the financial pressures that so often accompany freelance life. During our chat, Kat opens up about the struggles she’s had feeding her family when payment for freelance work has been late.

Underheard Bianca Being a freelance writer, people often think I live one of those shiny social media lives.
