The Joy Project is a series of conversations with business owners about what joy means to them and how they build it into their businesses and their lives. Running your own business gives you loads of freedom, but how often do we actually use it without feeling guilty about stepping away from work? I’m Leyla Alexander, a freelance graphic designer, and in each episode I’m finding out how business owners make space for joy, protect it when things get busy, and ultimately make running a business feel good. Follow along so you don’t miss an episode.

We chat about Sara's journey from the corporate world to running her own business, why having the freedom to work and live on her own terms means so much to her, and the joy she gets from helping her clients.
