I'll never forget the day when I became a mom last year in December. It was like my whole world had been turned upside down. I was exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely in love with this tiny little humanβοΈπΆ who had taken over my life.
As a freelancerπ©βπ», I had always been used to being my own boss and working on my own schedule. But suddenly, I have new boss that's my baby girl! And let me tell you, she is a tough one to please.π
All new moms and dads too can relate with my situation. Working from home with a newborn can be chaotic. Babies can start crying anytime while using laptop or mobile specially when in the middle of some important work or meeting with client.
But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months ποΈ, I started to find my groove.
I've learned to prioritize my tasks, to take breaks when I needed them, and to ask for help when I couldn't do it all on my own.πββοΈ
And you know what? I discovered that being a mom and a freelancer isn't a weakness; it is a huge strengthππ₯. I am able to use my flexibility to take care of my baby, and to work on projects that I loved.
Indeed, it's not always easy. There are still days when I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of daily chores and deadlines. But the truth is, being a postpartum freelancer mom is a journey, not a destination.This time shall pass too.π«°π€
It's a beautiful journey of self-discovery, of growth, and of learning to prioritize what really matters.π·
Being a Social Media Manager and Virtual Assistant freelancing mom π©βπ»πΆ, things are quite challenging but I am enjoying this phase. I'm also getting familiarized with Etsy platform and keep sharing my knowledge here whenever I learn something new about it.
