293. 2023 Recap: How I Made $150k+ Working [part-time] as a New Mom
Manage episode 391538534 series 2616564
I’m in shock that this year ended up being my highest-grossing year ever (by far). On paper, I’ve always made a little more than the year before, so it would make sense that this year would be my best year yet.
But number projections don’t account for life happenings. Specifically, being home with a newborn in the first quarter. Then opting for daycare just 2 days per week (because that’s all I could emotionally handle) the second quarter, and slowly working up to now an average of 4 days per week in the fourth quarter.
With all of that adding up to the equivalent of working part-time, I still made over $150k this year and I’m so proud of it. I get emotional thinking back because this year has been so tough with sleep exhaustion, breastfeeding for over 8 months, and the overall anxiety that comes with being a new mom needing to keep this little baby alive at all costs.
Needless to say, work was not my main priority this year. But the systems I had put in before giving birth, combined with being forced to set very firm scheduling and budget boundaries, made this income goal possible.
I hope you like this week’s special Christmas episode where I get very real about what it took to maintain and grow my art business in 2023 as a brand-new mom.
