More freedom was kind of the whole point of freelancing, right?
But then…. money got in the way.
You were supposed to be out there exploring, bagging peaks, creating work you’re proud of, and planning your next adventure… not standing at the base of Money Mountain wondering when you’re finally going to be able to conquer it.
And yet… these things are an all too common part of striking out on your own and building your business:
Wondering if you’re making enough, or ever will, so that you can finally feel safe in your finances.
Ignoring your systems (whatever they may be) for another month because you just can’t force yourself to face what feels like a monstrous undertaking.
Using the “what everyone else seems to be charging” method for setting your pricing, which always leaves you feeling anxious and confused.
Considering whether starting a business was even a good idea in the first place, because money’s your Achilles heel and you have no clue where to start.
Stressing about savings / Googling tax advice / Getting behind on basic bookkeeping
not part of the dream.
But guess what? This all makes sense, and conquering that mountain is completely possible.
After all, nobody ever taught you how to balance your books or create a pricing model! (“Unpacking money beliefs” probably wasn’t on the agenda either.)
But just like you learned to ski, take epic photos, or develop your craft, you can learn how to set up a practical and profitable financial foundation.
You just need some better equipment.
We all love nature, but your money mindset and skillset have to be nurtured
If any of these sound familiar, you don’t have to stay stuck.
You’re not sure that you even deserve to earn a healthy income based on your craft, despite the fact that you wish you could
You end up browsing full time jobs because you’re scared to pull back the curtain on your freelance finances
You feel shame about wanting to earn more… but also don’t even know how to
You defer to your client to tell you how much your work is worth, even when that means getting bullied into a lower rate
You’re terrified of tax season because you have no idea if you’re managing your money correctly… and are afraid to find out
The money baggage we all (often subconsciously!) carry around is a mix of what we believe, what we’ve been told, and what we’re afraid we don’t know.
But with support that unpacks the emotional stuff and sets you up with actionable tools, you can flip the script on these old narratives and get back to building your business with confidence.
Money clarity = money confidence = money freedom
When you finally tackle your finances, you can trade anxiety for the adventure that lights you up.
Think back to the original vision that got you excited about charting your own path.
Was it the thought of spontaneously traveling and exploring on your own schedule?
Was it the goal of supporting yourself without having to burn daylight in an office?
Was it the dream of someday being able to turn around, look back at the career you created, and say, “I did that, I built that, and I never gave up”?
It’s time to regain control and reconnect with that vision.
To say NO to bad fit clients and working yourself to the bone, without worrying you’ll never cash a check again. To say YES to making business investments and taking actual time off, knowing you’ve built strategic and intentional systems that have your back.
All you need is the courage to begin.

I’m Justine, your guide in the adventure of freelancing
Because you don’t have to go broke trying to make it your way
And let me tell you—your way doesn’t have to be the hard way, either. After freelancing in the action sports industry for 7 years and barely making ends meet for my first 3, I know how challenging expectations vs. reality can be. It takes a toll to be plagued by negative money narratives, avoid the long term questions, and neglect your business finances. But I made all of the big mistakes and learned all of the hard lessons so that you don’t have to!
I created the Money Clarity Course specifically for freelancers in the outdoors industry, because what works for other businesses doesn’t necessarily work for the adventure you’re on. Since 2019, I’ve helped hundreds of clients just like you build sustainable creative businesses by helping them tackle the uncertainty, ambiguity, and secrecy involved in freelancing in the outdoors industry. I fundamentally believe with the right tools and support, you can create a long term, sustainable business that actually makes money and funds a life that feels good to you.
See you inside!
