Today, we have one of my UDMA School grads sharing her journey as a freelancer. She’ll take us through her whirlwind experience of diving into the world of working from home as a digital marketing assistant, and why she decided to make the leap.

My guest is Ashley Sun, a former hairstylist, military spouse, and mom of four. We're getting into the real side of marketing work—boundaries, client management, and self-empowerment. Learning from others’ mistakes and successes can make you better and smarter in business, and Ashley’s journey is a perfect example of this. Over the past two years, I’ve watched Ashley grow from working with small clients to handling bigger ones, developing her skills, and confidently guiding her clients with strategic insights.
