Rebecca Broad

"Emma is my first port of call whenever I want to uplevel my freelance business, and my first recommendation for anyone considering freelancing. Her Freelance Business Lounge provides the best ongoing support I could imagine – a growing list of resources, regular chats, offers for services, and a friendly group to provide cheerleading and accountability! Emma is the freelance QUEEN.“

Alexis Bushnell

"The Freelance Business Lounge is some of the best money I spend on my business/myself. The resources in the membership are so useful and the support through the private group and weekly calls help keep me sane! Freelancing can be lonely (even if you’re an introvert) so for me the group support alone is worth it, all the additional materials are just a huge bonus. I can’t recommend the Business Lounge enough, it has been hugely helpful on my freelance journey."

Jane Feilden

"Joining the business lounge was a very easy decision as Emma knows what it is to freelance in the UK, has what seems to be a bottomless source of knowledge and insight; and is just so lovely to talk with. You also get the freelance lounge crew – the most wonderful and valuable tribe of lovely professionals who I could listen to for hours as I always learn something new on a call. I feel privileged and lucky to have found my tribe. Best business decision of the year."
