Podcast on freelance self-care

When I started freelancing 11 years ago, self care and wellbeing were not talked about the way they are now. They certainly weren't properly on the radar for freelancers.

I'm really glad this has changed. Working for yourself can be stressful, volatile, and isolating, and your health and wellbeing as a freelancer are integral to you being able to function and earn income, as well as find enjoyment and fulfilment in what you do.

So it was a real treat to explore this topic with the lovely Lucy Jane Santos and Laura Fitzachary in their latest History Business podcast.

Have a listen and check out the other episodes in the two series to date, covering lots of aspects of being a historian for hire, with relevance to freelancers in the heritage and cultural sectors more broadly too.
