About this episode

On this week's episode, we sit down with Jet van Wijk, a dynamic digital entrepreneur originally from the Netherlands, to discuss her transformative journey from a corporate job in London to becoming a successful freelancer and digital marketer. Jet shares her experiences in the influencer industry, the mental health challenges it brought, and how she pivoted to a healthier, more sustainable "laptop lifestyle." She shares insights on the toxic nature of social media, the importance of authenticity, and the power of freelancing as a path to freedom. Jet also touches on the balance of masculine and feminine energies in business, her approach to building a fulfilling life, and her latest projects, including her involvement in the "Women Gone Wild" book series. Whether you're looking to escape the 9-to-5 grind or seeking inspiration from a successful digital nomad, find Jet's details below!
