Hey, I’m Lou – your host of The Travelling Web Designer podcast. I’ve run my WordPress web and graphic design business remotely from 31 countries over the past 13 years.

I know the highs and the meltdowns that come with trying to build a freedom-filled, flexible business you actually love.

In this first raw, voice-memo-style episode, I take you behind the scenes of what really happened when I wanted to burn my web design business to the ground.

💥 Once while living full-time in Europe💥 Once during a very rough pregnancy with hyperemesis💥 And the big one – in early motherhood, when I shut my business down completely

But here’s the thing… burning it down gave me the space to rebuild something better. Something simpler. Something way more aligned.

• The true cost of building a business that doesn’t support the life you want

• Why looking “successful” online means nothing if you’re secretly struggling

• What burnout feels like as a solo web designer trying to do it all

• How I rebuilt my business from scratch – smarter, simpler, and sustainable

• A gentle reminder that you are not alone – and you can create a business that actually feels good to run

If you’re a web designer or creative who dreams of working from anywhere without the overwhelm, or you’re craving more ease in your already location-independent business – this one’s for you.

🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever wanted to burn it all down… or just need some real-world encouragement to keep going.
