Today, I’m chatting about how I’m preparing for maternity leave as a freelancer, content creator, full-time influencer. One thing I feel like we can all benefit from is talking about how to prepare for a leave of absence. Whether you want to plan a long vacation, a sabbatical, or you’re expecting a child, it can be helpful to create your plan ahead of time.

One way I’m preparing for maternity leave as a full-time content creator is preparing:
My finances 

One of the biggest ways I’ve planned for maternity leave is saving for my own personal maternity leave. The U.S. doesn’t have any federal laws regarding paid leave for parents. And as a freelancer, I don’t qualify for any FMLA in Washington State.

Are you looking for ways to create content consistently, but you’ve been battling with limited time or energy? I’m right there with you. At 26 weeks pregnancy (as I recorded this), I’ve been dealing with the ebb and flows of energy. I want to continue to keep creating content for the blog, podcast, and my social media channels, but sometimes I just don’t have the energy. 

One thing I've done during my pregnancy:

I removed the pressure to need to post every single day – I don’t have the energy for it, and I’ve accepted that.

 For many years, I demanded that I post every single day on Instagram, every other day on TikTok, and/or publish a new blog post each week. I’m not there anymore and that’s okay. It’s been helpful for me to remove that pressure and expectation.

I feel like I did a ton of personal work the first three months of the year. Pregnancy has forced me to think about what a balanced lifestyle looks like. Because for the first time, I came into the year not only just thinking about my career goals, but I also am thinking about family because I’m due to have the baby this summer. 

Today, I chat about things I've done both from a personal and professional point of view. I'm also sharing what I'm focused on for Q2.

I completely redesign my media kit this year and quarter. If you’re looking to refresh your media kit, this podcast episode is for you.

 What is a media kit?

A media kit is essentially a resume of who you are as a brand. Your media kit should you pull in all your social media, blog, podcast, and web platforms. Your media kit can also include audience demographics as well as previous brand partners or clients you’ve worked with.

 How often should you be refreshing your media kit?

You can refresh your media kit as often as you’d like. But I recommend either updating your media kit either once a month or once a quarter. 

Tune in to hear everything I refreshed on my media kit!
