Hi Reader, Ever wonder if you're doing the right thing? Same. 😩 Walking away from the traditional 9–5 to build a business from your kitchen table (or couch, or carpool lane) is terrifying — and exhausting. I’ve been doing this for two decades (yep, even before the pandemic made WFH trendy), and there are still days where the hustle is real... and the crickets are loud. 🦗 💸 Passive income is crucial these days — but while you’re laying those foundations (memberships, products, affiliate links, all the things), you might also be stressing about how to keep the lights on without crawling back to corporate. Freelancing = the answer. 🚀 Want to start freelancing?You don’t need a fancy degree or decades of experience to start offering services people actually pay for. Here are just a few freelancing gigs I love:
Need ideas? And if you're ready to take the next step, grab my Passive Income Jumpstart Guide — it's 50% off right now and walks you through setting up multiple income streams like:
😬 Real talk: I’m opening up my freelancing calendar againAfter three years and a recent (wildly expensive) surgery, I’m saying yes to client work again. If you're running a small biz and need help with the stuff that drains you — content, email, design, strategy — let’s talk. Not ready yet?

Hi Reader, I hope you've had a great week until now and are on the path to finish strong for the rest of the month. We're almost to fall, and this gal couldn't be more excited. It's my favorite time of year. I'm deep into my goal of moving into a more natural lifestyle before 2026, and I'm inviting my friends to join me by joining my latest challenge, Replace This with That. Every day for 30 days, we'll replace one less-than-healthy store-bought item with a safer, natural homemade one. From...
Howdy Reader, I hope you had a great weekend and are on track for a productive and profitable week. Things are pretty busy around here, as is typical for the life of a WFHM juggling a crafting obsession, an online store, and a freelance business (I still have two spots open for new clients - contact me about my writing, VA work, product creation, business coaching, and DFY offers). We just celebrated the last birthday of the year with an end-of-summer pool party for our youngest daughter, who...
Hey there Reader, OK, say it with me, "Building my list is EASY!" There, we got that out of the way. It's all in how you look at things. I've devoted 2025 to my email list, although I'm still inconsistent while juggling the growth of my store, website, and opening my freelance business up to new clients for the first time in a few years.
