It seems like EVERYONE is trying to work from home these days. There are about a million different ways to do that BUT what all of us moms really want is something flexible that allows us to earn an income while being present with our kids, right? If you want to be a WFH Mom too – stay with me!
Where I Started…
I had a work-from-home full time corporate job for years and it slowly morphed into what nightmares are made of during lockdown. I began juggling WAY too much because I absolutely had to and essentially had a mental breakdown. I got pregnant with twins shortly after I met my breaking point and when I returned from maternity leave, I was ready to dive in with a new plan! I was awaiting a promotion that was discussed before I had the babies and I was looking forward to setting new boundaries and working hard. Sadly, I was laid off right after that and all I could think was … now what? Queue another mental breakdown.
Where I Am Now…
I wouldn’t call losing my job a blessing, especially not freshly postpartum with twins and birth trauma. BUT I have been creating content online, blogging, filming YouTube videos, reviewing products, working with brands, etc. for YEARS and I knew I could lean into that. So I did. Slowly, because you know… twins. Two years later and I am making a pretty steady income blogging, creating digital content for brands, and also working as a virtual assistant. I am not out here making $10k a month (isn’t that the number everyone is throwing around?) BUT I am contributing – I am working a few hours a day during nap times and/or squeezing some time at the end of the day. It’s diapers, its groceries, it’s gas in my mom van – I’m proud of it! I am currently writing this blog post in the passenger seat on my way to a theme park with my husband and kids! I am home with my kids and I’m not spending 40 hours a week away from my family just to give it all back to childcare.
Helping Other Moms…
I created a completely free guide on 8 different ways to make an income from home along with the steps to getting started with each one. I get DMs about this topic occasionally and there’s just no way to respond to someone without writing them a book because it’s such a loaded question! But I am really passionate about this topic because it feels so easy to me and if I can do it anyone can!
If you know in your heart that you want to find something that will work for you so you can stay home with your babies but you have no idea where to start – this is for YOU. It will help you decide what you want to start with and tell you what to do from there! And I want you to reach out to me directly with any feedback and any questions!
I am so excited to share more to help moms looking to work from home and be present with their kids. Guides, tutorials, checklists, schedules, workshops – my brain is spinning! But I want to make sure it’s truly valuable content because I’ve been doing these things for so long that it all feels very second nature to me!
