This episode covers an important topic that doesn't come up often in entrepreneurial circles: taking parental leave while self-employed.
I sat down with Leanne Ray, freelance dietitian and new mom, to talk about how to make space for parental leave in your business so you can take time off without everything falling apart.
We share tips about how to start planning for your leave, creative ways to self-fund your leave, and how to keep your business alive without you for a few months.
Plus, we discuss our own unique experiences navigating this process and offer insight to other entrepreneurs on what to expect and how to prepare for leave.
