Hey, um, I, I am putting it out there that all of my technology problems are done. We're not doing that anymore. So how is everybody doing? Happy Monday. Thanks for joining me. And I'm really excited about our topic today because it's something that I wish I would have had when I was going through the end stages of my infertility journey and going through my pregnancy. Because I felt trapped, I felt cornered. I knew I was gonna have to go back to work because we just hadn't taken time, set aside time in our schedules and in our planning to make sure that I was able to stay home after our first son was born. So I created this guide and I dropped the link below. And what it's gonna help you do is it's gonna help you start to think about what you might want to do to stay home and earn money as a— some people call it as a side hustle or as a side gig, um, so that you could be a stay-at-home mom, so that you can get out of corporate world or out of your 9-to-5 job. And so you can spend time, if you want, to be a stay-at-home mom. So it gives you the choice to do that with your brand new little one, right? So The guide is gonna walk you through the 2-week wait. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna flip that script on the 2-week wait, the 2-week window, and we're going to, instead of obsess over every feeling in our body and hyperfocus on our body and what's going on in our body and hyperfocus on time and hyperfocus on peeing on a lot of sticks, we're going to take this 2 weeks and be very intentional about doing some personal development. So I created a book list for you guys to choose from. It's kind of a broad range of books for a jumping-in point, but all of them are going to help you, help you grow and help you get an idea and some sense of what you might want to, to do to earn an income. And that looks different for everybody. So it might be making something, it might be joining an MLM, it might be writing a book, it might be creating courses, it might be any number of things. So this is really just, um, a thought and a dream, um, starting point with some action points behind it and also some self-care along the way to help you and your partner come out of the end of the 2-week wait better mentally and physically, right? So that's what we wanna do. We don't wanna just grind ourselves into dust and get to motherhood and feel a lot of anxiety and a lot of overwhelm and a lot of angst because we have to go back to work and that sort of thing. So I hope that you will grab that guide. I put it in the link. Let me know what you think. And if you have any questions about staying at home after baby comes, if it's kind of an inkling and you're like, yeah, you know, I've thought about it. I don't know what to do. This is going to be the very beginning starting point to helping you figure that out. So if you don't know me and you're just joining, I'm Erica Hoke.
