Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 4
“This really has benefited my health: that I can decide now when I wanna work and on what topics I wanna work. This freedom has really helped me get better.”
My guest on the show today is Eileen, a freelance consultant and travel lover from Germany.
Eileen has overcome mental health issues, that stemmed from her physical environment as well as her work environment in India, and built up a new life of freedom and balance.
Our conversation is straight-forward and packed with practical tips – whether you’re contemplating that move from your 9-to-5 towards self-employment or whether you’re looking for ways to better deal with the stressors in your permanent job or as a freelancer. Despite the straight-forwardness, however, we won’t skip the yoga – because, it seems, this ancient lifestyle does play a major role in creating balance and setting yourself up for a freedom lifestyle!
