Key takeaways from our chat with Chelsea
1 - Managing entrepreneurship after corporate America
Chelsea left her job 2 weeks before having her second child, so she could stay at home with her family and not feel stressed from work. She started working on her blogging income and other projects, building a financial independence lifestyle that would be sustainable for her and her family. Since then she's realised the importance of finding a balance between mental health and happiness, and that ideally you want to be pursuing FI as well as finding a career you love.
2 - The importance of self-care during maternity leave
After having her second baby, Chelsea was not able to completely shut off, since she was just getting started with entrepreneurship. She believes it's important for new mothers to be able to completely turn off and focus on their babies. Self-care is important also because there is a lot of stigma around giving birth, and friends and family can be quick to offer their own opinions on how to raise a kid. For mothers, it's easy to feel that they're doing something wrong, so it's important to find time for themselves.
3 - The Mama Talk Money Summit
This online summit will be taking place next week from the 21st to the 24th of October. 40 female speakers will be conducting sessions about all topics on motherhood and money. There will also be big giveaways, coaching, courses and a pajama party on the last day. The summit is free to attend, with an add on of notes, q&a sessions and transcripts when buying the All Access pass. A ton of free financial information on many different topics  - a must attend event!
