70. Unleash your inner rebel (with Advita Patel)

"You can't be everyone's cup of tea, or you'd be a mug!"

Advita Patel is the founder of Comms Rebel, which aims to revolutionise workplace and business culture by encouraging us all to be a bit more rebellious. She's also the co-founder of A Leader Like Me, which is a membership for underrepresented women looking to progress in their careers.

Her message for freelancers is to be bold, brave, and step outside our comfort zone to thrive. To develop our careers, we need to find the confidence to take risks to find new opportunities.

We discuss:

• How to unleash your inner rebel (especially those who have been urged to follow the rules)
• The importance of being visible and talking about what you do
• Celebrating yourself and not waiting for validation from others
• Why we all need to do the work to understand our purpose and our values
• The small steps we can take to bring more rebellion into our lives.
