If I was going on maternity leave in 2026 and knew I needed an extra 500 a month… I honestly wouldn’t waste time overthinking it this time 👀 Because before my second maternity leave even started, I was already panicking about how it was going to work financially.. Trying to work out how we were going to make SMP stretch Wondering how quickly I’d have to go back to work And feeling guilty that this was taking over what should’ve been such a special time 💔 I knew I needed something flexible Something that could fit around mum life Not another thing that would take me away from my baby That’s when I came across digital products 💻✨ Things like planners, templates, guides And what completely changed things for me… was realising I didn’t need experience or loads of spare time to start I could use ready-made products, learn as I went, and slowly build something in the background during nap times, evenings and little pockets of the day No pressure No huge audience No being glued to my phone all day Just small consistent effort adding up over time 🤍 And honestly? That one decision ended up changing so much for me It helped me clear debt Build savings Reduce my hours And stop feeling forced into rushing back to work before I was ready And if I can do it as a busy mum with zero experience at the start… you absolutely can too 👀 Comment or message me INFO and I’ll send over exactly how I got started and how you can too 🤍 (make sure you’re following so I can message you) #maternityleaveuk #maternityleavetips #maternityleavefinished #maternityleavehustle #mumsidehustleuk - @lauren.digitalsales
