Squad Life: Defending the Work From Home Gig

Is part of your life a work from gig? 43% of Americans that work a full-time job also have a side gig. According to the 2017 US Census, 5.2% of workers in the US worked from in 2017—or 8 million people. I bet when the next census comes out that number rises. 

If you don't work from home it can be hard to "get it". You might not quite fully understand what we do at home all day. There is also a phenomenon out there that once a mom's children are of school age that mother should go back to a job outside of the home. I actually had no idea that was even a thing until I talked to a few of my mom friends, including Ally Billhorn. 


Ally is a successful food blogger at Sweet and Savory Eats. She has spent 10 years developing recipes for brands and her blog. She also recently launched Bread and Butter an all in one meal planner, grocery list and recipe book. I personally love Bread and Butter because of its small size (fits in a purse) and Ally's recipes are so simple and delicious. 


In this episode we cover: 

  • how to deal with guilt
  • the biggest mistake you are making when you introduce yourself 
  • why you can't work for free forever
