Little Hands, Big Plans - Motherhood and Business
Are you a mama looking to make a career or business move after becoming a mother? Becoming a mama changes how we view work, career, and purpose.
After this shift, you may crave more freedom, flexibility, and family time. You may still wish to, or need to, contribute financially to your home or continue to serve others and make an impact outside the home.
On Little Hands, Big Plans, I interview mothers on how their work changed after children. I wanted to encourage other moms by interviewing mothers that are building freedom filled lives. For some moms, this is achieved through entrepreneurship. For other moms, it comes with a career change. For other moms, it may mean taking a pause from the workforce to focus on family for a season. The overarching theme is that there are endless configurations of building a life where women can pursue their calling.
As a Christian mama, many of my interviews are with women of faith and we often discuss how our faith impacts our choices and decisions.
You’ll hear:
- Stories from moms who’ve shifted careers, paused, pivoted, or started businesses
- Actionable tips on creating time and financial freedom
- Conversations about letting go of overwhelm, overcoming fear, and taking the leap to avoid staying stuck in a job, career or business that is not serving you (or your family)
- Encouragement to build a life beyond the 9-5, if it’s not working for your family
If you’re ready to embrace a motherhood filled with faith, fulfillment, and time and financial freedom, join me every week for encouraging conversations and real-life strategies.
