This Freelance Insights interview features somatic coach Sara Duigou.

I took Sara’s Reclaiming Home course in October last year and am now working with her 1:1. When we started, the whole world of the nervous system and somatics was completely new to me. I’ve always been an overthinker, trying to fix things in my head rather than stopping and thinking about what my body actually needs. Sara’s insight has been a true eye-opener, so I’m really glad she agreed to do this interview and share her wisdom with you as well :)

If you’re curious to find out more about the nervous system and how we perceive things through our bodies, you can get Sara’s nervous system toolkit and meditation for taking in the good here.

This Freelance Insights interview features creative consultant Chloe Ambrose.

I met Chloe through Holly Bray’s Busy to Boss Academy membership group. She then started working with me on her pricing and finances, so it was a real pleasure to interview her for this series.

Going with the creative theme, Chloe is offering readers the opportunity to email her and ask her anything about branding and creative marketing on one day each month when you sign up to her Strider’s Letterbox newsletter. You can take advantage of Chloe’s generous offer here!

This Freelance Insights interview features SEO strategist Pri Kruijen.

I first came across Pri on Instagram last year and started following her for SEO tips because I, like many freelancers, know absolutely nothing about this topic.

On top of making us rethink our working habits, Pri is offering readers her Simple SEO Sales Page Checklist where she takes you through six steps to optimise your sales page and encourage conversion. Sign up and download it here!

While chatting to Claire, I felt like I’d met my long-lost sister; her normal working day is almost identical to mine, but the services she provides - design, SEO, Pinterest, etc. - are all the things I struggle with most in running a business.
