Show Notes

PT 3: This is the third and final mini episode of our chat with Frankie Tortora, a freelance graphic designer, mum of two and founder of Doing It For The Kids — a community by and for freelance parents.

Frankie is also co-host of DIFTK The Podcast with Steve Folland, recipients of Bronze Best Business Podcast at the British Podcast Awards 2020. 

Our conversation took place in August before we knew if the kids were going back to school and between the ever-changing lockdown restrictions in Canada and England. 

THINGS WE TALK ABOUT: 

  • Working from unconventional spaces
  • The type of professional development Frankie enjoys
  • Questioning all facets of your life
  • Why trading time for money isn't working for us right now
  • How having self-employed parents impacted us
  • Things we're trying to teach our kids
  • Who she admires as a parent and creative professional

BIG thanks to Frankie for chatting with us about all things creativity, community and parenthood!

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring Tanya Hayles, Kevin Bourne and Karla Briones, as part of Season 1 of the Mixing Babies And Business™ Podcast.
