24. Journal your way to freelance success w/ Jen McKeown

Dear Diary, we've got our personal development hats on today! When you're running a freelance business, there's nowhere to hide – you have no choice but to push through and figure things out. 

On this episode, performance and leadership coach Jen McKeown talks us through some strategies for reflective practice, self-coaching and journalling, so we can work through the sticky bits and achieve our freelancing goals:

  • why it's important to acknowledge the emotional toll that comes with working for yourself
  • 3 ways to use journalling as a self-coaching business tool so you can avoid turning every decision into an existential crisis, and turn vague ideas into solid plans
  • when it's time to work with a coach (and how to find the right one)

Dr Jen McKeown is mathematician turned performance coach, quietly obsessed with mountains, flow-sports and journaling. She offers 1:1 in-person and online coaching.

Ever feel like building a business for yourself is a full-time job in itself, before you’ve even landed a client? 15 Minute Freelancer cuts through the overwhelm with manageable, actionable advice designed to fit around a busy schedule. Hosted by freelance health copywriter Louise Shanahan, each episode draws directly from her own journey and the real, sometimes messy, realities of working for yourself. You’ll hear honest behind-the-scenes stories about pricing, difficult clients, and finding focus, alongside straightforward strategies for the nuts and bolts of running a sustainable operation. The aim is to move beyond generic hustle-culture advice and focus on what actually works, helping you shape a freelance career that supports the life you want, not one that consumes it. This isn't about theory; it's about practical steps you can implement almost immediately. Tune in for a candid, snack-sized conversation that feels more like a chat with a knowledgeable friend than a business lecture. Whether you're just considering the leap or are years into your freelance path, this podcast offers a refreshingly realistic perspective on entrepreneurship.
