The Writing Coach Podcast with Rebecca L. Weber


May 17, 2022

Today Iโ€™m sharing what it was like getting pregnant and having a baby during the pandemic.

One of the things I got clear about early on was deciding what I thought I wanted my time off to look like (including how long, how โ€œoffโ€ I wanted to be, and what the transition winding down and gearing up would be like), and also allowed myself to change my mind later on. This was so much cleaner than either not making a decision, or using this early decision against myself later on.

I also share one of the challenges I hadnโ€™t ever addressed in the kind of non-passive-income type of work that I do.
