...who want to create the future of work you'd like to see

A PERSONAL NOTE  FROM ME (AMY):

Someone recently posed the question:

If you were to meet other parents of young kids for a quick coffee chat and had only 30 minutes, what would you absolutely want and need to tell them, that could change their lives for the better?

A few of the gems which bubbled up:

✨ Always trust your instincts.

🔮 Learn how to listen to your intuition.

🌿 Everything is seasonal and a phase, recognize the one you're in.

🪐 Understanding the astrology of the moment AND your household will change your life.

But from a non-woo-woo space, I know it would have to be this:

🖥 🌏 Flexible and remote work have been the easiest ways for me to earn an income while designing a life that works for me (and our family of five).

Some of you may not know this, but while I was out and about pitching to complete strangers in England, speaking on stages while babywearing, hosting meetups and delivering training session for parents in Canada...I was ALSO doing freelance, fractional and contract work.

I've always believed everyone deserves to design a life that works for them and their family. But I didn’t have a mentor or guide to follow when it came to freelancing, doing contract and remote work.

I did my research, started doing projects in 2005, pitched to work exclusively remotely and began in 2014, later adapting my approach when I became a parent in 2016.

I’ve been an out-of-house online project manager, outsourced fractional employee, trusted digital marketer and communications consultant, working with clients on repeat engagements.

All while launching Mixing Babies And Business™*, which has become a social impact movement for primary caregivers.

I've delivered training sessions around these skills and this work for corporate, nonprofit and industry audiences over the past decade and now I'm putting together a pilot program for a small group of parents.

Designed to support you with real-life strategies to make the transition to flexible and remote work, while ALSO acknowledging the challenges of being a caregiver in corporate cultures and spaces.

Learn the exact process I’ve used over the years to craft offerings for potential clients, prospective employers and corporate partners, who continued to work with me throughout my pregnancies, postpartum and parenting phases.

If you're interested, send me a reply to this email or >>>click here to be added to the priority waitlist<<< in 2025.

Parenthood and professional development don’t have to be mutually exclusive – get ready to explore your options, while doing work that aligns with your values.

Because showing up this way for me has been a highly unconventional way to 'do business' over the years AND it has gotten me equally unexpected and dare I say wonderful results!

Some of the people and places I've been fortunate to collaborate with over the past 15+ years across three continents:

🔮👀 The behind-the-scenes magic...

If you're thinking, I'm good on the flexible work front BUT you had me at intuition and astrology you probably want to check out the Mixing Babies And Business™ Community.

It's basically 'Becoming Self-Led: 101', in a nice little virtual container for parents this year, available for a flat fee of $25 CAD. Take a sneak peek and behind-the-scenes tour of the online portal with me via YouTube.

Because, YES, I consult my inner wisdom, tarot cards, ancestors and know more about planetary movements than the average person you'll meet at a dinner party (trust me, it's my party trick).

On the outside, you'll have seen it manifest as out-of-the-blue opportunities, getting 'lucky', serendipitous connections, embodying my message and walking the talk, while trying to leave places and people better than I found them.

It's where I'm sharing all of the ways in which I do my practical magic, cycle breaking, movement making and put into motion the social impact waves I've been creating.

If you're desiring to show up and do things differently – I'm here to support you. Because we can't create the change we wish to see, if we're distracted by others' needs 24/7!

🦆🌿 And if you just need a little more nature and solitude in your life, I am here for you with this little pre-webinar walk:

🚼📊 Moving right along now...

If you've been reading this newsletter since the very beginning (2016!), you may have noticed a shift in the ways in which I've been working and showing up over the past couple of years.

I'm living, working and parenting post-traumatic brain injury and other injuries since a car accident nearly two years ago and converting my IRL work and experiences into digital-first offerings.

These are the main ways in which I'm working with individuals and organizations for the foreseeable future, as I learn to work around my recovery and invisible disability.

It's slow and steady going, I still haven't found the right flow for my body.

But please know if you're going through something hard or healing from a moment in time which hasn't left you or your body, I'm right beside you learning new ways of doing and being.

I’m always grateful for your interest in co-creating the future of work we'd like to see for ourselves and the coming generations.

Thank you for allowing me to grace your inbox and support you on your parenthood journey!

Have a lovely start to your week 🌱 ✨
