Not Just About Copy with Emma McMillan

The realities of freelance life with Rebekah Lambert
Hello and welcome to Episode 23. Today’s guest on the Not Just About Copy podcast is Rebekah Lambert.
Rebekah plies her trade as a virtual marketing officer that helps changemaking, purpose-orientated start-ups, organisations and entrepreneurs with their content, strategy and community building needs. She’s the founder of the Freelance Jungle, a grassroots community that ends the isolation and raises the knowledge bar for thousands of Australian and New Zealand freelancers. She reminds freelancers that stress has a productivity cost through online community and a “pay what you can afford” approach to education.
For her efforts, the Freelance Jungle won the Workplace Wellbeing category at the Wayahead 2019 Mental Health Matters Awards. A believer in freelancing as a way to reinvent your working life, Rebekah produced a free virtual festival for Australians made redundant by Covid in 2021 with funding from Facebook Australia and Good2Give.
When she’s not in the Jungle, she’s exploring the Illawarra with her labradorks and hairy musician partner, creating noise of a different kind.
I personally discovered the Freelance Jungle in my early years of freelancing and found it an absolute goldmine of helpful advice and a great place to connect with fellow freelancers. So it was a real treat to have Rebekah join me on the podcast.
