Ep. 107: Building a Copywriting Business as a Mom – with Kate K, Dorothy & Jen

By Nicki Krawczyk

Being a mother is a full-time job on its own. But it’s totally possible to build your copywriting business and continue to be the amazing parent that you are now.

In this episode, CCA students (and stellar moms) Dorothy, Kate K, and Jen join the show to share their experiences running successful copywriting businesses while raising children. Listen in to learn how you can balance your time, set boundaries, and share your career with your children as you grow your copywriting business.

A Sneak Peek at the Episode

[2:15] Our hosts introduce us to our guests and we learn about their paths to copywriting and their family structures at home, along with the some of the challenges they’ve faced balancing the two.

[6:00] A common thread among all of our guests is that they found the CCA while looking for a way to bring in an income and be home with their children and have a better work/life balance.

[10:50] When you are a working mom forging a new path your kids are watching how you handle the transition and difficult period, and our guests felt that and wanted to show their kids that it is possible to succeed despite adversity.

[16:50] It’s really fun to share wins and accomplishment with our children, but it’s also good to share the things that are hard and show how you overcome the obstacles.

[22:39] Working from home and sharing (often untraditional office) spaces with a family requires some extra grace and patience. But can be so worth it to be able to be home with your kids when they are sick or need attention from a parent.

[29:00] If a kid only has role models who feel hopeless and don’t have autonomy and control over their lives it will be hard for them to break that mold. By making the change to a job that you love and showing your kids you can write your own story you are empowering them to create a life that fulfills them.

[35:00] Our guests take some time to discuss “mom guilt” and how even when you are doing all the things you are supposed to be doing, personally or professionally, it can still rear it’s ugly head.

[45:00] To take away from that guilt and keep the house in order our guests have found ways to “outsource” some of the tasks that they find hard to fit into their schedule. And sometimes that means just delegating chores to their children.
