34: Transitioning to "Stay at Home Mom" with Mariela De Santiago
05/27/24 • 27 min
Are you currently pregnant or recently postpartum? Are you questioning if you want to go back to work after maternity leave? Many of us have been there and it can be a hard decision to make for some women. If you are trying to figure out if being either a working mom, work from home mom, or stay at home mom is the best fit for your family, you'll want to listen to my chat with Mariela De Santiago.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The desire to stay at home with your children but also still have a unique identity outside of "mom"
- How to make the transition from working to being at home.
- Managing your time if you are working from home or working on a passion project.

Do Moms Really Want a Course to Prepare for a VBAC?
As a doula and childbirth educator, my plan has been to have VBAC preparation courses for moms and VBAC training programs for doulas.
BUT is a VBAC course really something women want or would other formats be more beneficial?
Other options could be:
- Membership site
- 1:1 or group virtual doula support and VBAC education
- Patreon or premium podcast episodes
- A book
- Direct access to me via a Voxer membership (or something similar)
I would love and appreciate your input and feedback as I want to make sure I am serving you all the best way possible.
