How to Plan for Maternity Leave as a Creative Entrepreneur - with Anna Johanna Designs

As an entrepreneur, it can be difficult to take off a month or more for your business, especially if you're working alone and used to wearing all of the hats. But as a new parent, it's extremely valuable and important that you're able to step away from work to care for yourself and your new little one(s). Plus, this is why you're a business owner: so you have the freedom and flexibility that you want and need in life!

In this episode with Johanna of Anna Johanna Designs, we talk through our different approaches to planning for maternity leave. Johanna is expecting her second child, so she's been through it before - not only the experience of having a baby, but also going on maternity leave as a pattern designer. This is my first child, so it's completely new to me! For a variety of reasons, including differences in our pregnancy experiences and in the countries we live in, we've approached planning for maternity leave a bit differently, and our maternity leave experiences will also look unique.

Whether you're preparing for maternity leave now or you plan to be sometime in the future, we hope you find this episode helpful as we talk about our approaches - and how important it is to give yourself some grace and lean into your own experience.
