How to Balance Motherhood & Travel with Running an Online Business

How to Balance Motherhood & Travel with Running an Online Business

It’s hard balancing motherhood and running an online business at the same time.

If your child is young, you may find yourself having to squeeze in one or two hours of work each day while your baby is asleep and you’re meant to be sleeping too.

If your child is a little older, you may find yourself putting them in daycare a couple of days a week so you can work in peace (but getting chastised from family members who think you shouldn’t put your child in daycare because you “work from home.”)

Sound familiar?

Today’s guest, Alarice Stuart, is the owner of a design studio called Brand Babes Studio. She’s also a single parent to a toddler, a podcast host, and a regular traveler.

In this episode and article, she shares:

  • Why she believes work/life balance is a myth

  • Her top 3 tips for avoiding burnout

  • How to make time for your passions even when you’re busy being a mum and running a business

  • Why you shouldn’t feel guilty about putting your child in daycare while you work

Do you find that most of your followers are other designers, not your target clients?
