January 20, 2025 Bonus Ep: Why Stay at Home Moms Need to Write Grants
"Quit Your Toxic Job" Webinar on January 21st, 2024. Register, especially if you are a stay-at-home mom or want to become one.
Are you a stay-at-home mom due to the rising costs of daycare, unsafe schools, inflation, and/or long transport times?
Because of these reasons many moms have found that their salary isn't aligned with these costs.
So they choose to stay home with the kids to save money, keep their kids safer, and not be exhausted from working 40+ hours per week and 10 hours per week in traffic.
I am not here to shame anyone from making a choice that feels good for you and your family!
Lots of moms are in this situation.
But here's what happens.
The mother starts depreciating her lifelong earning potential.
Because she is taking off time from work she isn't contributing to her retirement, social security, etc.
Because she isn't working there is a gap in her resume.
Because she isn't working she isn't adding professional skills to her experience.
This is unfortunate and shouldn't be the case.
What if I told you moms that you can stay home with your kids, and earn more money on part-time hours?
You CAN earn money, increase professional skills, stay in the 'workforce', add to your retirement, and be at home (and have time) with your kids.
I know it sounds too good to be true, but listen to today's podcast episode to know why it's not!

Prepare to be self-dependent now.
