Business coach and business mentor for freelancers and solopreneurs Ashley Cisneros Mejia - Talk Freelance To Me

Coaching

Build a business that works for your life — not the other way around.

Freelancing can be freeing.

Or it can feel like a trap!

If you’re overwhelmed, undercharging, spinning your wheels, or trying to figure out how to turn your skills into something more sustainable, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.

I help women freelancers, writers, and creative entrepreneurs build businesses on their own terms — the kind that actually fit their lives, their energy, and their goals.

Whether you’re just starting out, trying to stabilize your income, or ready to grow beyond one-on-one work, my job is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

How I Can Help You

I offer a mix of business coaching and freelance mentorship rooted in real experience, not fluff. 

Together we can work on:

  • Defining or refining your services so they align with your strengths and values
  • Mapping out your offers, packages, pricing, and client onboarding
  • Simplifying your marketing strategy so you can show up consistently without burning out
  • Clarifying your goals and building a business around the life you want (not someone else’s blueprint)
  • Creating systems that support your work — and your rest
  • Identifying new income streams or exploring diversification (without starting over)
  • Raising your rates, negotiating with confidence, and communicating your value
  • Setting boundaries around time, energy, and money — especially if you’re a parent or caregiver like me

Why Work With Me?

I don’t just teach this. I’ve lived it.

I’ve worked for myself since 2009— as a freelancer, an agency founder, a solo business owner, and a mentor to other women building careers on their own terms.

What makes me different from a typical “business coach” is the range and realness of my experience:

  • I launched two digital marketing agencies from my kitchen table — and scaled one to a team of 19.
  • I’ve won national business competitions (shout out Unity Journalists!)
  • I earned a master’s degree in entrepreneurship at the University of Florida.
  • I’ve been a freelancer and hired other freelancers. I know what it’s like to both send the invoice and approve it.
  • I’ve studied business, written about it, and interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs through my work as a journalist — for business outlets like Hispanic Executive, Latina Style, Florida Trend, NFIB MyBusiness Magazine, and more. I’ve had a front-row seat to what makes companies succeed — and fail.

I know what it takes to run a freelance business that pays your bills, supports your life, and honors your energy — because I’ve done it, in different seasons, with different challenges.

If you’re looking for a mentor who’s seen the inside of both big success and messy middle moments, I’m your person.

My Style

So many times we already know what we need to do — we just need space to say it out loud. We need someone to talk it through with. Someone to reflect it back, offer another perspective, or help us get out of our own heads. Because when you’re deep inside your business, it’s hard to see the big picture.

That’s where I come in.

My coaching style is grounded in listening. Really listening. I don’t do one-size-fits-all advice or try to squeeze you into a rigid formula. I don’t believe in hard rules or absolutes. I believe in helping you figure out what works for you — in this season of your life, with the time and energy you actually have.

I know how loud the online business world can get. Social media can make it feel like you’re always behind, always comparing, always chasing someone else’s version of success. But here’s the truth: freelancing is flexible on purpose. You get to decide what success looks like. You get to build a business that serves you.

That’s what I want for you: a business that fits your life, not one that takes it over.

I’m a soft place to land — but I’ll still challenge you when you need it. I’m not a drill sergeant, but I won’t let you hide behind excuses either. I’ll gently push you when I see you’re ready. I’ll celebrate every win right alongside you. Your joy is my joy. Your clarity is my mission.

I used to think being a “professional businesswoman” meant being all business, all the time — no emotion, no softness, just power suits and polished language. But freelancing taught me that I could just be myself — and that showing up as a real person with a real heart was actually the secret to my success.

That’s the kind of business I want to help you build, too.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

  • You’re a freelance writer, creative, or service provider trying to turn your work into a business
  • You’re tired of piecing things together from random advice on the Internet
  • You need someone to help you zoom out, spot the patterns, and make a plan
  • You want to do meaningful work without burning out or breaking down
  • You’re ready to run your business like a business — but still keep it human
