As business owners, we often fear taking extended time away will tank our income or hurt our client experience. But what if I told you I maintained consistent $20k+ months during my maternity leave while being fully present with my newborn? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I'm sharing how I navigated maternity leave as a photography business owner, from planning to execution, and the unexpected challenges of returning to work. Whether you're planning for maternity leave or simply want to create systems that allow you to step away from your business without sacrificing income, this episode will show you how scaling your business now can create the flexibility you desire later.

In this episode of All Angles Photography Podcast, you will learn:

• How to maintain consistent income during extended leave through proper business scaling
• Why you should plan for more leave time than you think you'll need
• The reality of balancing work and motherhood, including unexpected challenges
• How to build systems and a team that supports your business while you're away
• The importance of remaining flexible in your return-to-work strategy
