Being busy isn't bad

PLUS a free finance workshop & this week’s hot jobs!

Gearing up for a VERY busy couple of months (and busy here is not negative).

Here's what's ahead:

  • Partnering with 4 amazing sponsors to bring incredible tools, resources, and 3 events to our Harlow community: Inverse Wealth, Solo Health Collective, Lettuce, and Duckbill.

  • Supporting ~10 incredible coaching clients through year's end

  • Hiring a new team member to make our job board better and more powerful for our community

  • Preparing to launch our BIGGEST event to date, focused on goal-setting and 2026 planning, plus a super focused coaching cohort to follow 

  • 4 personal trips on the calendar (Chicago, New York, Belize & Nelson, CA)

  • Helping consulting clients with some major projects: fundraising, building and running their GTM strategy + more 

  • The holidays and all that comes with them

It's A LOT. But I LOVE it.

This kind of momentum, paired with incredible trips and my favorite time of year? 

I'm on cloud 9. I feel grounded but growing. Present and purposeful. Aligned and ambitious.

Plenty of time to play, equal time to build.

Here we go! 🚀

One of the main things that’s helping me stay on top of personal admin and ruthlessly prioritize? DuckBill

You know those personal tasks that aren't urgent but never leave your mental space? The ones that linger on your to-do list and make you roll your eyes every time you see them? 

I finally figured out how to stop letting them drain my energy and get them crossed off quickly with very little effort on my part.

(Spoiler: Duckbill helped me sell that engagement ring I'd been avoiding for years.)

And now, an invite to a free event with a pal, sponsor, and all-around amazing, brilliant human that I am ecstatic to bring to you, followed by this week’s hottest jobs! 

FREE EVENT

Are you a high-earning freelancer, yet find it difficult to build wealth consistently?

Does unpredictable income make it hard to plan, save consistently, or know when it’s safe to invest?

In just 60 minutes, you’ll learn:
