"Something worth suffering for." yeah, I get that! I had actually written an essay about Anthems. Sort of just me shooting out ideas. Not overly polished. But an anthem, I think, or a manifesto, is when you tap into that. Something worth suffering for. Love this!
What an incredible article. Thank you so much Melissa for writing so honestly about this. I myself started my freelance career last year and had a moment very similar to the one you describe - coming from the corporate world, I became used to "calls = work". Not the same now. It is a different way of working, and I found myself falling back into the same "corporate" way of doing this, thinking more calls equated more work, when I was actually avoiding doing what would actually help my new business: writing, putting content out there, reaching out to companies into the women's health space to work with them.
This hit hard. You designed eWebinar to protect freedom, then fear pulled you back into the calendar prison. Respect for catching it early and naming it. Most founders just normalize the dread :)

I love how your articles always make me pause and reflect!
Building my robotics startup now feels like coming home right now. It combines my experience, passion and work environment in the perfect way.
It’s a great reminder to not forget this while we grow and build. Hope I’ll succeed with that 😊
Thanks, Miria! Appreciate your support!
