314: When Your Dream Job No Longer Works With Life As A Mom

EPISODE 314 SHOW NOTES

Welcome back to The Live free Podcast! I am so honored to have you here.

Today I wanted to talk about something I experienced when I first became a mom and something I have been hearing a lot more in emails.

What happens when the job you love(d) no longer fits with your lifestyle as a mom?

There is a better option through freelancing. You can use your skills, talents, and strengths while having a healthy balance between work and family life.

Check out today’s episode if you are ready to find a way to have it all.

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!
