@lauren.digitalsales: I wasn't looking to become an influencer. I wasn't trying to build some huge online business. I was literally just a normal mum on maternity leave wondering how we were supposed to make maternity pay stretch for months 😅 And the closer I got to eventually having to return to work... The more I knew I wanted another option. Something I could do from home. Something that could fit around my girls. And something I could start without needing loads of experience or spare time. That's when I came across digital products and Canva. Think planners, invitations, templates, guides, courses... And initially? I thought there was NO chance this was something I'd be able to do 😂 I wasn't techy. I had no following. I knew nothing about it. But then I discovered I could start with ready-made digital products while I learnt how everything worked and built my confidence. So that's exactly what I did. I started small. Learnt as I went. And gradually started creating my own products too 🙌 At the beginning, even an extra couple of hundred pounds a month would've felt HUGE to me. I genuinely had no idea where it could lead. Fast forward to now... I've been able to extend my maternity leave. Massively reduce my working hours. Build savings. Travel with my girls. And create an income from home that fits around our life rather than the other way around. All from something I started with absolutely NO clue what I was doing. And I think that's the part I want other mums to realise... You don't need to already be good at this. You don't need thousands of followers. And you definitely don't need to have everything figured out before you begin. I didn't. But I was willing to learn! So if you're looking to create some more options for yourself on maternity leave too, DM me LEARN and I'll show you exactly how I got started as a complete beginner ❤️ Make sure you're following too so we can message properly x #maternityleaveuk #motherhooduk #newmumsuk #matleavehustle #sidehustlemumuk
