Hello and welcome back to The Edit Podcast, with me journalist and presenter L’Oréal Blackett. And, Happy New Year, it has been what feels like a lifetime. Let’s just say, a lot has happened.

But I’m back with more conversations with people I think are a positive influence on and offline.

Let’s kick things off with this fab chat I had with freelance writer and author Fiona Thomas. Last year, She had just launched book ‘Out Of Office’ all about the ins and outs of going freelance and ditching your 9-to-5   

For Fiona, after struggling with mental health she decided to take the leap and has since seen success going out on her own.

But how easy is it to go freelance and is the self-employed life for everyone — especially in 2021.

We talking about putting yourself out there and embracing failure, getting paid, and making it on your own terms.

This is The Edit.
