Community & connection for freelance parents: A very different kind of 4am Club 😴🍼
Doing It For The Kids
"This place is better than Google."
"Biggest client of the year thanks to DIFTK."
"I am NEVER leaving."

DIFTK is a community by and for parents who work freelance.
Founded in 2016, DIFTK won’t teach you how to become a ‘successful’ freelancer or how to find ‘balance’ (what does that even mean?!). There’s no course. No coaching.
This is about CONNECTION — camaraderie, collaboration, and a lot of laughs.
If you’ve ever worried about how a new baby might impact your business, or missed a deadline thanks to a poorly kiddo, then I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this community is for you.
As a freelance parent, you’re a part of a very different kind of 4am Club – it’s messy, and it’s hard, and it’s brilliant.
Welcome.
