How to become a work from home mom

...I wish I knew!

I have read a LOT of stuff on the internet on how to balance work and family by working from home (see for example Steve Pavlina, the Mogul Mom, and Simple Mom). But the stumbling-block for me is that key ingredient "do what you love", "follow your passion", "find your element".

When I ask myself that question, I get a blank. Every.single.time.  So I'm looking for a job, and I'm creating this blog to keep my mind alive and creative juices flowing. I know I'm good at listening, and I love it, but how do you turn that into a business?

Have you walked this journey? What was your solution?

Hey penny, you are such a gifted advisor and listener and I think this blog will be such a great avenue for that! I wonder if there is any kind of paid counselling role you could do over the phone, I think lifeline etc are usually volunteers but there could be some kind of paid one out there who perhaps would also provide a training course (Actually im pretty sure some of those voluntary ones would provide training and then you could do it volunarily, get training and experience and then look for paid work).... just some ideas! YOu are such a blessing! kate j
