The more you know, the more you make. So why would going on mat leave be any different? Especially as a solo operator.
Here are my actions I suggest before you finish up:
✅ Clear all outstanding bills & business outgoings before you leave
✅ Go through all expenses & pause any subscriptions you are not using
✅ Do a stock take & order what you need for your return
✅ Get your reconciliation, expenses & receipts ready to send to your accountant before EOFY
Feeling organised before you leave will avoid so much stress further down the line. Because the more prepared you are before baby arrives
You have nurtured these relationships, worked hard for every client and grown your business to where it is today. So when it comes to mat leave ( especially as a solo operator), it can feel really hard to let go of that control.
I have learnt that you also have to let go of timelines, & as there is no HR department, no handover meeting and no one to cover you when you leave, Mat leave as a freelancer is something you have to figure out entirely on your own.
These are the steps I am taking to make sure my clients are looked after while I am away, their hair journey continues seamlessly and they feel supported while I’m off the tools.
Because at the end of the day, these are not just clients. They are the heart of everything you have built.
Part 1 Clients

It does mean getting across what’s available to you though because as a freelancer, you have to be your own HR department. Nobody’s going to hand you a maternity leave package.
So here’s what exists in Australia for self employment.

Money can be a difficult conversation, especially when you are the founder or the face of your business. I get it, but this has to be said. We have to increase appropriately to make sure we stay afloat and of course grow.
Which I know our loyal clients understand and will continue to support.
Do you feel in financial control of your day to day?
Do you know what your revenue is?
Have you made a profit?
Do you understand what you need to be charging per service for your business?
Ready for Money Audit? That’s where I help you, we assess expenses and current service pricing to adjust appropriately for you and your business so that you can hit your business goals, and how to communicate with your clientele when these changes need to be made
Comment MONEY & I’ll DM you
♥️
Here’s what that looks like.
We all have different learning styles which means one-to-one mentoring can really nurture your specific business goals.
Think of my mentoring like a tailored meal plan created just for you. There are must-do tasks when you step into self-employment such as money, systems and business setup. But there’s also so much you may not even realise you need yet, and that’s where I come in.
Maybe you want to dive into finances, competitive pricing or budgeting.
Or it’s booking systems and mindset awareness. Whatever stage you’re at, I guide you through the practical and the personal without judgment.
Not quite sure if you’re ready?

Im Carla a hair artist for over two decades now, I’ve been fortunate to work with incredible humans from London to Australia.
My secret sauce is transformative corrective colour work and truly understanding the person sitting in my chair, offering a full hair analysis paired with an honest consultation!
Today, I work for myself as a solo artist in an intimate space where every appointment is one on one, tailored and intentional for my clients.
But just like life, things need to grow and change. And as any true entrepreneur knows, one niche is never enough. Being surrounded by freelancers and entrepreneurs, I kept hearing the same doubts on repeat, doubts that couldn’t be unheard, Won’t I be lonely? Not sure how to start? Will I lose touch with education? How do I even charge properly?
I recognised those questions because I had asked them once too. And I knew I could help. Now, I proudly guide freelancers through any stage of their journey, helping them step out of doubt, into clarity, and into community.
So yes, I will remain behind the chair creating beautiful colour & covering those pesky greys for my clients. But I am equally proud to stand beside other freelancers, showing them that they don’t have to do this alone. Because the future of our industry is stronger when we grow together. 💋
