How Do You Deal with Client Ghosting as a Freelancer?

Ghosting from clients has to be one of the weirdest parts of freelancing. One minute, everything’s on track emails are flowing, feedback’s positive then suddenly, radio silence. I’ve had it happen a couple of times, and even though I know it’s not personal, it still throws me off.

How do you handle it? Do you follow up after a certain point, or just let it go and move on? And what’s your go-to method for shaking off that nagging “was it something I did?” feeling? Would love to hear how others navigate this. Bonus points if you’ve got a good storyboarding analogy I’m always looking for ways to tie things back to visuals!
