Making a Midlife Career Change to Working at Home

Work at Home

26 Nov

Are you in your 40s or 50s, wondering how you’ll make it through parenting teens and caring for elderly parents? Has the traditional career path not worked out that well, and now you’d like to do something on your own from home? Do you want to be your own boss but don’t know how to begin?

midlife career change, work at home, work from home, freelancing, freelance writing, freelance writerToday, I’m featured at The Work at Home Woman, looking at all of this and sharing my story as a successful freelancer smack dab in the middle of three teens, aging parents, and out-of-whack hormones.

Here’s a brief snippet:

I, along with many other moms, spent the bulk of my kids’ (I also have twin 13-year-old boys; yes, please pray for me!) preschool and elementary years at home with them. I had occasional odd jobs, part-time jobs, and work-from-home jobs, but my primary focus was staying home with the children and managing the affairs of the home.

And I thought that was the hard part. You know — colic and temper tantrums and locating lost pacifiers and fighting a new nap routine.

For our family, the teen years are proving way more demanding.

    Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a comment.

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind
    me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
    :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like
    yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any
    feedback) – it’s still in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself
    during the coronavirus scare!
