If you’ve ever googled “how do I plan maternity leave as a freelancer?” at 2am, cup of tea in hand and brain full of tabs, you are not alone. And you are exactly who I had in mind when I created Feel Supported: a gentle, practical maternity leave planning course made specifically for self-employed people who need guidance, reassurance, and a tailored plan that actually works for you and your business.

This course has been a long time coming. And it means everything to me.

International Women’s Day is here, but honestly? Women deserve to be celebrated every single day, because the world doesn’t always make it easy for us.

You are preparing for one of the most profound transitions of your life. Growing a baby while running a business is no small thing, and if you are feeling a mix of excitement, uncertainty, and perhaps even a little overwhelm, know that you are not alone.
