No one of sane mind would say that pregnancy is easy.

(Wait, hindi ko pa na-experience to and never ko siguro ma-experience. LOL)

But I’ve seen women who went through this so I know that it’s not a joke.

And for some, the experience goes far beyond the usual symptoms of morning sickness and back pain.

Some have to give up work early.

While some spend most of their time in bed.

But others still opt to work kahit mahirap — to support their pregnancy and monthly expenses.

Just like Cleofe.

That’s when she decided to pursue freelancing.

"I started back when I pregnant and had no choice but to teach online. local companies
wont hire pregnant people.

After several no’s from different ESL companies, finally I landed a job that supported my pregnancy and our monthly expenses.

Then I got very lucky to hit a Full-Time CSR job, non-voiced, when I had my baby. And I did not know how to go back to the real world after that."

But even if she got lucky for getting a non-voice job, she also has her own experience of setbacks.

"...losing a client without notice, and not paying you for the last month. That was very tragic because we were on a monthly payment."

Despite all of these, she still continues doing freelance work.

Find out why (and how she was able to sustain her freelancing career) in our JasSuccess interview tomorrow at 4 PM.

See you there!
