13 Aug Mothering and our careers: is it either or both?

Posted at 09:05h in Lifestyle by

I don’t leave the house very much these days. Aside from my morning walk and my weekly babysitting dates with my grandson, I’ve been to staying close home to keep my family and community safe.

 

My daughter is a new mother, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how the pandemic for many people—especially parents with young kids—has really changed work and home life. I’ve worked as a Shaklee leader for nearly 26 years, so working from home is not new to me. But  researchers are saying that the impact of the pandemic on working moms could last a lifetime.

 

I keep thinking about how my business at Shaklee transformed my life as a new parent. Instead of leaving the workforce altogether, I developed my Shaklee business from home, which allowed me to take care of my daughter when she needed me most.

 

Moms these days also need flexibility without having to give up their careers altogether. Becoming a Shaklee distributor has never been easier.  Basically, it is as simple as changing brands to help you and your family build a healthier lifestyle.  Once you have done that you just help another family do the same thing, and then you do it again and it becomes duplicatable.

 

It is simple and flexible.  You can do it full time, part time or at nap time. You are in business for yourself, but not by yourself. You have the support of a coach/mentor for free and a team of other moms who collectively have years of experience behind them who all have your back.

 

And most importantly you are partnering with a company that does all the actual product, and behind the scenes business work for you with a stellar reputation and a 64+ year track record of success.  All you do is share your experience and what works for you.

 

There is no doubt that balancing motherhood and a career is a challenge, especially during a pandemic. But not all is lost. If you or a loved one is looking for a flexible career that has supported families for generations, please share my story and get in contact with me for more details!
