Let's face it: all moms work. All this debate between working and non-working moms is BS (in my opinion). That's because all moms work...24/7. It is our job, priority, and blessing to tend to our children at their dispense. It's the best "job" I've ever had, and the best "job" I'll have forever.
With that being said, some of us have other jobs...jobs in addition to being mom. Some of us leave the house for a 9-5, where others, like myself, work from home.
We even have an acronym: WAHM (work at home mom).
Coming from a background of waking up at 2:30am for TV News, I never thought I'd actually do my own thing working from home, but I am, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. There's nothing better than being around for your kids while still doing "work" to maintain that sense of self.
In 2014, I spoke at a Disney Social Media Moms Conference. I was surrounded by bright, beautiful, family-oriented women all succesfully doing their own thing (while of course, embracing their love of Disney). I shared my tips for the work at home balance, which is tough, especially when you have to choose between taking a call or changing a diaper.
It's not easy finding a balance, and my daily life is still a work in progress, but I thought I'd share my tips on self branding and being a productive WAHM. Please view my All Things Mama video!
I welcome your thoughts and feedback.
