Pregnancy made me more money. I know how that sounds. But stay with me, because I was TERRIFIED pregnancy would shrink my business.
Less energy. Less capacity. That's what I expected.
Pregnancy Made Me More Money: My Best Month Ever at $107,000
The Hard Stuff
The first and second trimesters hit hard af.
- Nausea EVERY. single. day.
- Mental health stuff I wasn't expecting
- Some days I could barely show up
Despite all of that, I had my best month ever. $107,000 (so exciting!!!!!!!!🤑)
And here's the thing. It wasn't in spite of the hard stuff. It was BECAUSE of it.
Getting Out
When I physically couldn't do everything myself, I finally stopped trying to.
I FINALLY leaned on my team. I trusted my systems.
Turns out the business didn't need me in every meeting, every decision, every Slack thread. (who woulda thought? 😅) It needed me to get tf out of my own way.
That shift, learning to step back and let small habits create big changes, is what unlocked everything.
The Gift
If you're scared that having a baby will tank your career or your business, I get it. I was you a few months ago.
But what if the constraint is actually the gift?
What if being forced to ask for help is exactly what unlocks the next level? If you're working toward your own milestone, check out the 100k a year playbook.
Bigger, Not Smaller
Pregnancy didn't shrink my biz. It expanded it. 💓
The recap is simple. I was terrified pregnancy would shrink my business. Instead, I had my best month ever at $107,000, because being forced to slow down made me lean on my team, trust my systems, and get out of my own way.
The constraint wasn't the problem. It was the gift. Being forced to ask for help was exactly what unlocked the next level.
If you're scared a big life change will tank your business, ask yourself what might open up if you finally got out of your own way.
