EP 148: How I Got 3 Months Paid Maternity Leave as a Work-At-Home-Mom


Listen Later

When I had my first two kids in my early twenties, maternity leave was really rough. It kind of happened, it kind of didn't, and a lot of things went wrong.


But when I was pregnant with my third baby, I completed a couple of projects that made a massive difference in my income and allowed me to take three full months of paid maternity leave.


So today, I’m sharing that story and telling you what happened and what those projects were that enabled me to take paid maternity leave.


And whether or not you’ll ever need maternity leave, these strategies are still relevant for any situation where you know you’ll need to be able to take a chunk of time off without sacrificing your income.


Listen to the full episode to hear:


  • Why I couldn’t take much time off with my first two babies
  • How my third pregnancy pushed me to finally get moving on generating passive income
  • Why I batch plenty of content before going on maternity leave
