Because “independent” doesn’t need to mean “alone”.

Maybe you’re new to working independently. Maybe you’ve been at it for a while. But with so much changing in the impact landscape — not to mention LOADS of bigger societal shifts — you might be feeling… 

  • Unsure how to stand out in a crowded services market

  • Unclear about what exactly you offer or how to talk about it without rambling

  • Caught in the feast-or-famine cycle, unsure how to build a steady pipeline

  • Stuck between wanting more visibility and feeling overwhelmed by social media

  • Confident in your expertise… but not always confident selling it

  • Tired of doing this alone without peers to brainstorm and collaborate with

You know you’re capable of building an independent practice with more clarity, alignment and ease — you just haven’t had the structure or the support to get there.

Introducing a Reconsidered-style group program to help you build a strong foundation for your freelance work.

Freelance Foundations is designed to give you the clarity, positioning, business development systems and visibility strategies you need to build a freelance practice that feels confident, focused and unmistakably you. 

You’ll learn how to:

  • Define your niche and focus areas with confidence

  • Articulate your unique value proposition so clients immediately get it

  • Build offers that are clear and compelling

  • Show up in ways that feel natural — not performative

  • Create a simple, repeatable business development rhythm

  • Strengthen your proposals, pricing and negotiation skills

  • Make an action plan for the year that accounts for the realities of your life and the cycles of the natural world

All inside a supportive community of peers who get it.

A Note From Jess

For me, working independently hasn’t just been a career move. It’s been a profoundly fulfilling journey of both professional and personal development.

It’s forced me to define my voice, my value and my vision, often long before I felt “ready.” It’s asked me to have awkward conversations about pricing, say no to misaligned work, put myself out there in scary ways and regularly stretch beyond my comfort zone. It’s been a creative process as much as a business one.

Nine years ago, when I founded Reconsidered, I assumed my NYU Stern MBA and experience in tech startups would guide me. It helped — but only so far. 

Traditional business training didn’t teach me how to build a practice that reflected my values, honored my energy or supported the life I wanted. I realized quickly that I didn’t want to create an old-school agency and risk waking up in 10 years trapped in a prison of my own making. I wanted a business that could flex as I raised kids, navigated life across borders and explored creative, community-focused work. That meant learning — slowly, sometimes painfully — how to articulate my value, attract the right clients and build systems that felt sustainable.

This program is designed to help you make that same shift, but with more clarity, more confidence and much more support than I had. I welcome you to join us!

It Might Not Be For You If You Are…

  • Building a freelance career that does not have sustainability and social impact as a primary focus

  • An established consultancy owner with 3+ full-time headcount

  • Looking for easy answers, passive income promises or girlboss/tech bro hustle strategies (that’s not really our vibe)

  • Identify who you serve, what they need and where they are so your work — and your message — lands with the right people.

  • Explore visibility, thought leadership and relationship-building strategies that can help you attract aligned opportunities in a way that feels authentic to you.

  • Learn to price, scope and set boundaries around your work in a way that honors your value and makes the sales process feel balanced, fair and human.

  • Turn everything you’ve learned into practical communications assets and a realistic roadmap that supports both your business’s sustainability and your own.

You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers

  • Not at all. This program is designed for both new(ish) independents and seasoned consultants who are ready to reposition, refresh or bring more intention to their practice. If you’re serious about clarifying your niche, strengthening your messaging and building aligned systems for finding and selling work, you’ll fit right in.

  • You’re welcome here. Many participants are exploring independent work while holding a full-time role or navigating a career transition. The program offers structure and clarity whether you're already independent, building up your practice or considering the leap.

  • Live sessions are 60 minutes every other week, with optional office hours on the in-between weeks. To get the most out of the program, you should plan to spend an additional 1-3 hours  between sessions doing the homework and applying the frameworks to your own business. With bi-weekly sessions, the program is intentionally designed to be spacious, even alongside client work and/or caregiving.

  • The content portion of each session will be recorded and shared with the group within 48 hours, though the private group sharing sessions will not. The optional office hours between sessions offer another opportunity to catch up, ask questions and stay on track. We know that life happens, so we’ve built the program with flexibility in mind.

  • If you select the mentorship upgrade, you’ll receive four one-hour 1:1 sessions with Jess for personalized guidance, deeper clarity and hands-on review of your messaging, offers and business development systems. This tier is ideal for anyone craving tailored feedback and more individualized accountability and momentum.

  • It’s completely normal to feel unsure about investing in yourself or your business, especially in the early stages of independent work. Comparable programs and masterminds often cost tens of thousands of dollars, and we’ve intentionally priced this program to be far more accessible while still reflecting the depth and experience we bring.

    Because this is our first time running the program, this introductory pricing is the lowest it will ever be, and we won’t be offering additional discounts. If the investment still feels like a stretch, reach out. We’re happy to explore payment plans to make it more workable.

  • Because this is a small-group, high-touch program, each spot represents a real commitment. If something unexpected comes up before the program begins and you let us know within 7 days of the start date, we’ll work with you to defer your enrollment to a future cohort or find a solution that feels fair to everyone.

    If you cancel your participation less than 7 days before the start date, or you attend the first session and decide it’s not the right fit, we offer an 80% refund as long as you let us know within 48 hours of that first session. After that window, refunds aren’t available.

  • Happy to help! Shoot us an email at team[at]reconsidered[dot]co and we'll get right back to you.

Independent work doesn’t have to feel scary or lonely.

With clarity, community and a clear plan, it can feel deeply aligned — and even joyful. We’d love to help you get there!
