If you want to write, work from home, or design a career that fits into your life-instead of trying to fit your life around your career-then you are in the right place.

Design Your Career
BLOG • RESOURCES • EDUCATION
Have you been searching for a way to make money without going to an office five days a week? Do you dream about a day when you can do your current work from home? Are you looking for more flexibility without sacrificing income?
It is possible to design a career that fits around your life!
But, it can seem impossible to sift through all of the options. How do you determine what is legit and what’s a scam? Do good paying work from home jobs exist? Will your boss really consider letting you work remotely?
These are valid questions!
Over the last few years I have built a writing career that I do 100% from home. I have the flexibility to schedule my work around my life so I do not have to miss anything I want to be at because of work. In addition, I can work from anywhere with just my laptop and an internet connection. Through the blog and education page you will find details on how I built my writing career and resources to help you do same.
Along the way I have met many other people who have built careers outside of the traditional office setting. I am telling their stories as well to show that there are many different ways to design a career that allows you to live the life you want. You can listen to these stories on the podcast and read more about their journeys on the blog.
