This month’s talk - "Finding Focus: Freelancing Wihout the Noise"
Talk by Jo Loveridge - Freelancer Web Dev
"After 18 years of freelancing, I’ve learned a thing or two about what makes freelance life calm and enjoyable - and what makes it stressful and noisy.
In this session I’ll share the practical tips, client boundaries, and mindset shifts that help me hit my income goals, rarely work evenings or weekends and take proper time off without guilt.
If you’ve ever felt pulled in ten directions and want a bit more balance - this talk is for you."

Parking: Not gonna lie, bit of a nightmare around there due to permit zones. Nearest parking is a 10 minute walk (by Coffee Cup Eastney), but there are good pubic transport links and a bus stop outside.
