160: Manage Your Client Relationships for a Stress-Free Summer

Author: The Two Lauras June 10, 2025 Duration: 24:52

Taking a break shouldn’t feel awkward – but we know it sometimes can feel that way when you let your clients know you won’t be around. From enforcing your boundaries around availability, to whether you need to reduce your invoice, to what you need in your crisis management document, we’re covering it all in today’s episode. 

Summer is coming, and if you want to relax in peace, this is the episode you need to listen to!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • What you need to have organised before telling your clients about your break
  • Whether we think you should reduce your invoice when you’re on holiday (have a guess 👀🤣)
  • Everything that needs to go in your crisis management document
  • How you can handle those days when you do need to work but your kids are at home!
