EPISODE 319 SHOW NOTES
Welcome to the Live Free Podcast! So happy you are here!
In this episode, we welcome our very own Staci Mink, a talented copywriter and freelancer, who shares her journey from corporate marketing and PR to running a thriving six-figure freelance business. With over six years of experience, Staci reveals how she transitioned from a traditional 9-to-5 job into a career that offers her both financial security and the flexibility to be present for her girls.
Staci chats about her early days in freelancing—how she landed her first client (me!), why direct outreach worked for her, and how she was able to replace her corporate income within just a few months. As a single mom and the sole provider for her family, Staci shares her insights on building a sustainable business while working part-time hours, setting income goals, and handling the challenges of self-employment.
For anyone considering a leap into freelancing—whether you’re a corporate employee looking for more freedom, a mom seeking work-life balance, or simply someone who wants to turn their skills into a profitable business—this episode is packed with valuable insights, real-life experiences, and actionable advice.

More about the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn:
How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me? Is it really possible to create a consistent, full-time income from home?
Welcome to the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn where we will be answering these questions PLUS many more! Whether you’re just starting your freelance business (heck even if you don’t know what freelancing is yet) or you’re looking to scale, this podcast will give you tangible business advice along with inspiring interviews to help you create a life and career that works for YOU and YOUR family.
Your host, Micala Quinn, started out teaching high-school English, but when her first child was born, she immediately began searching for something more. She wanted a way to stay-at-home with her daughter (and future babies), but still needed to bring in a full-time income to help support her family. Micala started freelancing, quickly replaced her full-time income, and now helps other moms (like you) get started and grow their freelance business from scratch to 5K and beyond! She believes that being a working mom or a stay-at-home mom no longer needs to be a black and white decision. You CAN have both. On your terms!
Our motto is Mom Strong, Work Smart, and Live Free. Are you in? We’d love for you to join us each Monday, as well as in our Live Free Podcast Facebook community!
