  • Special Hygge Holiday Episode!

Hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost, each episode blends mindset coaching, creative productivity, and simple exercises you can do anywhere.

    But this week, Freelance Friends, special holiday edition, no-workout, unless you want to. You do you. I just won't be the one coaching you. I've got a Hygge-inspired holiday playlist and chat where business will be put aside in favour of recharging, relaxing, and reconnecting with our loved ones, who maybe we haven't been able to spend as much time with as we'd like, and also reconnecting with ourselves.

  • Expenses: How to increase profits without working harder
    Dec 17 2025

    Freelance Fitness is your weekly 10-minute movement break designed for creative freelancers, voice actors, designers, writers, editors, and anyone who spends their days creating, producing, and problem-solving. Hosted by freelance voiceover artist and former fitness instructor Alison Pentecost, each episode blends mindset coaching, creative productivity, and simple exercises you can do anywhere.

    Today I want to talk about revenue, and more specifically, how to increase profits without grinding harder.

    A lot of freelancers focus on revenue. Profit, though? Profit is the number that actually matters. Profit is what’s left after expenses.

    One of the easiest ways to increase profits is simply to stop money from leaking out.

    This episode gives you simple, practical steps to keep more, stop the leaks and make sure the money you already earn stays in your account.

    How do we recognize the difference between a good business expense, and hard-earned money we're letting slip through our fingers?

    Today’s run or walk will help clear mental space while we talk money, the stress it can cause us, and smarter creative business habits.

    Running posture checklist is here.

    Links to warm up exercise guides are here: Hamstring Sweeps, Dynamic Knee Hugs, Dynamic Quad Stretch.

    Links to cooldown stretches are here: Standing Figure Four, Standing Hamstring Stretch, Static Quad Stretch.
