In this special live episode, recorded during the very first Free Spirits Live virtual conference, we’re joined by a brilliant line-up of attendees and contributors who share their experiences, takeaways, and a few unexpected moments from the day.
You’ll hear from:
- Kelly Rodrigues, Head of Learning at WebPros and freelance consultant, reflecting on imposter syndrome, performance consulting, and being brave enough to say “this one’s not for me”.
- Lorraine Taylor, founder of Lorraine Taylor Learning, who shares how Canva and marketing strategies lit up her brain—and why she’s now committed to keeping a “win journal”.
- Jayne Davids, video specialist and founder of Raiveon, who celebrates the power of community and prepares to reveal her “mystery” session.
- Kelly Joanne, marketing consultant and podcaster, who speaks about value proposition design and what makes a self-care development day in your pyjamas so magical.
- Jill Sainsbury, filmmaker turned learning designer, who loved hearing from peers about pricing, LinkedIn profiles, and why not every client is the right client.
And finally, we catch up with Free Spirits founder Kim Ellis, the mastermind behind the event, who shares the behind-the-scenes highs (and toilet-break mishaps), and why chat—yes, chat—is the soul of any good virtual conference.
Whether you joined Free Spirits Live or missed it this time around, this episode is full of energy, insight, and some cracking advice for freelancers old and new.
