Meet Brittane, RN, CME Medical Writer
Brittane was working full-time while building a freelance CME writing practice on the side. She knew the balance was unsustainable, even as she kept pushing. In 2025, she made the leap: left her full-time role, committed fully to freelance, and nearly matched her previous salary within the year.
But the bigger shift was internal. Launching her business forced her to develop self-advocacy and boundary-setting skills she'd avoided before. The workload she's built now supports her mental health, not just her income.
“It feels stable and real,” she says, “not risky or temporary.”
