How Kaleigh Tracy Works From Home with Her Four Kids

297: How Kaleigh Tracy Works From Home with Her Four Kids

 

EPISODE 297 SHOW NOTES

 

Hey there! Today we’re chatting with Kaleigh Tracy about how she works from home with her four kids, all under 6 years old, and successfully manages her busy household. Kaleigh shares her journey into freelancing, which began unexpectedly when she lost her childcare during maternity leave. She tried to find another option for childcare so she could go back to her corporate job but everything in her area was either full or wasn’t able to accommodate all four of her kiddos. With no other option, Kaleigh turned to freelancing… and thrived!

It was a stressful season, but it pushed her to give freelancing a chance… and Kaleigh found quick success in this space! She zoomed through the course and quickly joined a Land Your First (or Next) Client challenge. She consistently put herself out there that month and she got results! She landed two clients during the challenge and three more the following month. 

In today’s episode, Kaleigh shares how she landed her retainer clients, the industry her clients are in, and the tasks she does for each of them. She also tells us about what her days look like, how many hours she works each week, and how she works from home while her kids around.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Kaleigh’s transition from a corporate job to freelancing
  • How Kaleigh landed her clients and the tasks she does for them
  • What Kaleigh’s daily routine looks like, how many hours she works each week, and her strategies for balancing work with her kids at home

More about the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn:

How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me? Is it really possible to create a consistent, full-time income from home?

Welcome to the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn where we will be answering these questions PLUS many more! Whether you’re just starting your freelance business (heck even if you don’t know what freelancing is yet) or you’re looking to scale, this podcast will give you tangible business advice along with inspiring interviews to help you create a life and career that works for YOU and YOUR family.

Your host, Micala Quinn, started out teaching high-school English, but when her first child was born, she immediately began searching for something more. She wanted a way to stay-at-home with her daughter (and future babies), but still needed to bring in a full-time income to help support her family. Micala started freelancing, quickly replaced her full-time income, and now helps other moms (like you) get started and grow their freelance business from scratch to 5K and beyond! She believes that being a working mom or a stay-at-home mom no longer needs to be a black and white decision. You CAN have both. On your terms!

Our motto is Mom Strong, Work Smart, and Live Free. Are you in? We’d love for you to join us each Monday, as well as in our Live Free Podcast Facebook community!
