Are you tired of building your freelance business in isolation?
You’ve gone solo — and now it feels like you’re doing everything alone.You’re figuring out pricing, website, systems, all with no backup. No colleagues, no clarity, no place to talk through the hard stuff.Portugal can feel slow to adapt, and local networks rarely suit you. You're stuck in your own head, wondering if this is how it’s supposed to be.You need support — a real space with others like you.
Freelancing can feel like walking alone in the dark.
You’re smart, skilled, and you’re making money — but that doesn't mean you don’t feel lost sometimes.You question your direction.Struggle with setbacks.You get stuck in overthinking and self-doubt.No one in your life understands your problems, or can help you fix them.You wonder if anyone else is figuring this out as they go — or if you’re the only one.
This is a support group — not a coaching program.

What You Get
We meet twice a month online — on Zoom:• Session 1 (2 hours) — We address a topic like marketing, then everyone shares a business problem related to the topic, with a challenge at the end.• Session 2 (2 hours) — Everyone shares what they did with the challenge from Session 1, then attends a workshop to learn a new skill (from me, a peer or a guest speaker).• Challenges every month to keep you moving and accountable.• Friendly check-ins between sessions to find out how you're getting on.• A business goal you submit on Day 1, to work through as we go.
This is for full-time freelancers — not dreamers or part-timers.
