020. How I’m Planning a Profitable and Restful Self-employed Maternity Leave

I’m officially on maternity leave! Don’t worry, I recorded this episode before baby Kucirek officially arrived. Actually, as you read this, she might not be here yet…but I’m already winding things down and taking a step back in my business to make the most of the final weeks before baby arrives.

This episode is all about my maternity leave plans and how to plan a maternity leave when you're self employed. 

Episode Highlights:

• How I've been prepping for maternity leave the last several months
• How much time I plan to take off and my returning to work plans
• How I plan to make money during my time off and how I saved up in advance for my maternity leave
• How I set expectations with my clients and figured out what I wanted
• Communicating with clients and making sure all tasks are covered 
• Creating a project plan for my maternity leave and staying on track
