One person/many careers. I write about things you feel but can't explain. Big ideas about money & creative living, simply expressed.

I sell property for a living.

But then Google just pinged me £1,183 for running ads, and brands slid into my inbox with £2,034 for sponsored content.

And here I am, writing this. On Substack. For you.

So, what do I do for a living?

I’m someone who refuses to be boxed in by a single definition—I'm a slasher.

For me, the slash career isn’t a phase or a financial hedge. It’s an intentional life strategy.

I’ve always been very intentional about creating options for myself.
I never want to be without an option.

I like having the option to quit a job, change careers, launch a new business, take spontaneous days off, or even pack up and start fresh in another country.

Options are magical.

Doing it all, aka slashing, is not about busyness or hustle for the sake of it.

It’s about agency.

Not to sound dramatic, but if you’re reasonably intelligent, relying on a single job and one income stream is the worst thing you can do to support yourself.
