I’m pregnant with baby number two, and this time, I’m prepping my business for maternity leave very differently.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the full compare-and-contrast: what I did before my first son was born, what worked, what left me scrambling, and exactly what’s changing for round two:

Why wrapping up all client work before leave created a tough financial and momentum gap

The longer-term containers and design partnerships I’ve set up for a smoother return

How a four-month marketing ghost left me rusty and talking to a cold audience

The batching, VA support, and content systems I’m building to keep things flowing while I’m off

The identity shift that completely rebuilt my business after my first baby, and why I’m open to it happening again

If you’re heading into a big life change (maternity leave or not!), this is your permission slip to let your business shift with you.
