Covid-19 | Being A Self-Employed Mom Amidst A Pandemic
Hi, hello from myself, and our new addition, Aili Anne Jespersen, born on April 17th 2020! What a whirlwind the last several months have been. From having to shelter inside, to having our baby girl 3 weeks early - you can say life is a bit insane.
Today I’m going to be writing about how it’s been being a new mother in the middle of a pandemic. I wrote about being pregnant throughout all of this, but now that Aili is here, my perspective has obviously changed.
I would have never guessed when I first found out that I was pregnant that I’d lose more than half of my clients because of Covid-19, but to me, it has been a blessing in disguise. I’ve had the opportunity to focus on my daughter, and have been able to build our relationship in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to do if I had 20+ clients. But now that I’m getting into the swing of things again, I am so excited to get back on the horse and work my booty off to provide an extra income for my family.
Each day I receive an inquiry in my email asking about what we do - and it brings me so much joy that even though my previous clients have let my services go (hopefully for the time being) that others see what my we can do for them.
That being said, make sure to take a look at my services listed on our services page for more information on what we can do to help you get out of the hole that is Covid-19. Feeling like you’re at a loss of words is normal during a time like this- but that’s why I’m here to help!
Thanks for reading - all in all, life is good, Aili is my everything, and I am so excited to get back to work!
XO,
