A NOTE  FROM AMY

Since mid December I've been working from my phone...a LOT.

Between brain injury flare ups, two out of three kids needing antibiotics and chest x-rays and international family events, I've had to take time out and pause on the regular podcast audio editing and course video recording, which I normally do from my desktop computer.

The past six weeks have seen me showing up as I am, working from a hand-me-down Android mobile from my farmer Dad, sometimes in unconventional locations.

January's private podcast episode for the Mixing Babies And Business™ Community was recorded from my car studio while waiting at school pickup on a -20C day, after dropping my partner at the airport en route to Ireland post natural disaster.

Our life is rarely 'picture perfect' and week-to-week everyone's needs and schedules shift and change.

BUT adrenal rushes aside, I'm excited to keep building this way because it's always when I have unforeseen restrictions or am responding to constraints, that I'm at my most creative.

I've done graphic design, strategy documents, onboarding resources for students helping me through a government program, business applications...ALL FROM MY PHONE...oftentimes near one of the kids at my 'coffice' (couch + office) by the fire.

Editing, content, admin and marketing has been done from my mobile while waiting at soccer training, the school run or between medical appointments.

The community welcome video was uploaded and linked from the toddler's bedroom floor, after finally settling him to sleep.

I'm modelling imperfect action — building things in the margins of life as they say. Scrappy, simple and a bit messy, it's what has gotten me here.

With this approach, I've spoken on stages, participated in programs, delivered workshops, welcomed new members and can now say I have podcast listeners in 19 countries for the free Mixing Babies And Business Podcast — all because I began in tiny blocks of time, working around our kids' needs.

Some days I need more screen breaks than others, to connect with adults IRL, or would prefer to do things from a dedicated work space...but I know this phase is a season of parenthood.

Instead of fighting it, I'm embracing it.

Life doesn't always flow alongside my plans!

This is exactly why I created a primarily async and low cost offering for parents in 2025 — to cultivate a safe space online to recalibrate, meet others quarterly through virtual events and a community group when and as they feel like it.

Focused on the theme of 'REST' to provide support and intuitive practices throughout the year, meeting you where you are in life, parenthood and work.

If any of this speaks to you, you're also a parent of young kids and you are interested in learning more, the link is here to join us: mixingbabiesandbusiness.com/community

It's $25 CAD for the year, 12 private podcast episodes drop on the 25th of each month and we'll meet online in February, May, August and November. Access the community and content any time up to December 31st, 2025.
