Em: Hi. Welcome to my little corner on the Internet. My name is Em, and this is the No Rush podcast. If you're a freelancer who's just so over the hustle culture, who dreams of having more space in your day and building a freelance career that doesn't feel like a never ending sprint, then you are in the right place. Here, it's all about sustainable freelancing, And we'll talk about growing your career at a pace that works for you, delivering great work without burning out, and, of course, redefining success in a way that feels good. So if you're ready to trade the grind for something calmer and more intentional, just hit subscribe and join me. So bakit, no rush. Because no rush means it doesn't need to happen now.Right? It doesn't even need to happen soon. No rush means you're doing it on your own schedule, when it feels right and when it makes sense for you. And I love this phrase so much. If you're over the age of 30 like me, you probably don't want to be frantic all the time. Ayaw mong maging ngarag. And I don't know about you, but when I'm rushing, when I'm frantic, I get stressed. And that stress manifests physically. Now if you're still in your twenties, maybe you can't relate just yet because you're young, you're full of energy.
I was 20 once too. I was like, give me all the projects, you know? I'll do them all. But now that I'm older, that's just not the case anymore. And so I had to learn how to design my life and how I work with that in mind. And if that's your goal too, if that's the kind of lifestyle that you want to build, then I would love for you to stick around. So what can you expect from this podcast? This isn't gonna be a freelancing podcast where I share some cool tips and tricks to earn money and reach that 6 figure dream in six months or less. If that's your goal, that's fine. There are other resources out there that can help you with that.
You know, in a world where everyone's encouraged to hustle and grind and chase a 6 figure salary. I want to offer something a little different, you know, a gentler, more intentional way of approaching work and life because those two are very much connected. Because those two are very much connected, especially when you're a freelancer. And I wouldn't say that it's the right way. It's just a different approach. And this approach applies to more than just freelancing because it's also a lifestyle, you know, one that takes continuous practice. And we're gonna talk about that here too. So if that resonates with you, then you are more than welcome to stay.
That's it for this episode. This is Em signing off. Take it easy.
