In 2014, Tiffiny Costello left her full-time job and began working as freelancer in marketing strategy and website development.
I had also quietly departed from the sobriety train about three months prior to leaping into the freelance world. To be fair to myself, I would also get sober again, two years before quitting freelancing, but I am sure the confidence I had at the start of freelancing made me think I could also handle alcohol better than my history had proven.It was freeing. It allowed me to travel whenever I wanted. I went to Europe for five weeks. I went camping whenever I wanted.
I didn't learn how to set professional boundaries until the last year of freelancing, and by then I was already on my way out because of poor-behaving clients, a surplus in the supply of available freelancers, and increasingly heightened anxiety with a side of deepening depression. Other team members were treated the same way. We were not allowed to be the true experts we were, because he wanted things done his way. And, he paid at a minimum, because we were working for a 'nonprofit.' He once reminded me that another coworker was also getting paid low, and she was happy to do the work. She had a full-time job. Freelancing was my bread and butter.I started to believe that I actually didn't know what I was talking about.
My last year as a freelancer was filled with anxiety, depression, naps , poor eating habits, long runs, too much coffee, ridiculous sleeping patterns, or no sleep at all. I kept sinking. I even considered moving back to Texas, in with my parents. I had one client left, and wasn't trying to find any new ones. I had no energy left.
