b'In GBA 344 we get even better acquainted with Rita. She talks about how her life has changed since we last recorded a conversation, how trying to work as a freelancer in the arts can affect your mental health, the relationship between trying to make things for yourself and trying to make money to pay rent and bills, her different experiences of day-jobs and so much more. \\n\\nRecorded just before I moved to Lancaster - partly due to the difficulty of trying to be a freelance artist in London - there is a lot of cross over between our experiences and concerns as we reflect on how stress can mean that a day job can be a better way of being able to make the work you want to make (and may be better for your mental health), trying to establish your work when you are a jack of all trades and a master of some, how many great creators don\'t have the admin and hustling chops needed to get their work out to people and the roles of luck, privilege, power, work ethic in trying to "make it".\\n\\nThis was our first GBA: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-261-rita\\n\\nRita plugs:\\n\\nWorking with her on creative things:\\nHer twitter: @RitaSuszek https://twitter.com/RitaSuszek\\nHere email: RitaSuszek at gmail dot com\\nInstagram: @rita_vision https://www.instagram.com/rita_vision/\\n\\nThe Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/\\nApple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-family-tree/id1113714688\\nPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/thefamilytreepodcast\\nRita\'s Episode in Season 2: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/branches/the-family-tree-season-2-episode-11-message-in-a-bottle/\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nMansplaining Masculinity: The Book https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/\\n\\nWhat About the Men?
