How I Am Making $2,000-$5,000 a Month During Maternity Leave as an Entrepreneur
Sharing numbers and money is always such a weird/ uncomfortable thing for me, but here’s how I’m making $$$ while on maternity leave:
1. I’m beyond blessed to live in a state that has paid family & medical leave. Meaning even as an entrepreneur they PAY ME to have a baby based on my earnings 4 quarters prior.
2. I’m 5 years into business & have developed “passive income” sources. I wouldn’t be making this money at year 2 if I’m being honest. That being said we all know passive income isn’t passive and I had to work hard the months prior to keep it going for my 3 month leave.
I spill my last 2 ways I’m earning money towards the end of the video!
The figures $$ for June:
| Affiliate Programs | $137.75 |
| My Squarespace Course (Payment Plan) | $89.00 |
| Social Media Clients | $1,350.00 |
| WA Paid Family & Medical Leave | $2,813.00 |
| TOTAL | $4,389.75 |
A few things to note – I had to renew my LLC with the Department Of Revenue + file my annual report with the Secretary of State, so that took a large chunk out of the earnings.
I also hired an assistant who maintains all my social media clients. I pay her hourly and she received $410 for the month.

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart.
I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality.
Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.
Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me.
I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally, anyone else?!)
I find so much joy in helping and serving others and I give myself fully to whatever it is that engages me, whether that is running a 50k or creating a website in a day.
