I Took 8 Weeks Off and Still Got Paid. My January 2026 Earnings and the Business Model That Made It Possible
In this episode, I’m opening the books and sharing my actual earnings for January 2026.
I’ve deeply appreciated other female solo entrepreneurs who have bravely shared their real numbers. It’s inspired me, and now I’m here to inspire you. Their honesty expanded my sense of what’s possible and helped dissolve so much secrecy and shame around money. This episode is my way of paying that forward.
Inside this conversation, I share
• My total revenue for January 2026
• Exactly where that income came from
• Why I earned money while not working for two months
• And my best tip to help you create the same
For the eight weeks leading up to February, I barely worked at all.
I was on holiday.
Then I needed to step back for health reasons.
I showed up for a few meetings here and there.
The occasional email.
Some light social media.
That was it.
And yet, my business still generated income.
Not because of hustle. I did none.
Not because of constant output.
But because of how I’ve intentionally structured my birth business over time.
This episode is an honest look at what it means to build a sustainable, values led, cyclical business as one woman. One body. One nervous system. One life that sometimes needs rest, pause, and spaciousness.
If you’re a birth worker who wants to
• Step away without everything collapsing
• Build income streams that don’t rely on being “on” all the time
• Create a business that supports your life and health, not drains it
• Stop trading constant presence for survival
This episode is for you.
And if you’re feeling the pull to build this kind of foundation for yourself, the Business Course for Birth Workers is now open with an early bird offer throughout February.
When you join in February, you save $1,000, with the course beginning on March 23rd.
I created this course to help birth workers build businesses that are sustainable and supportive of a woman’s real, cyclical life. Not burnout. Not constant visibility. Not self sacrifice.
If you’re ready to create a business that can hold you through rest, seasons, and change, I would love to walk beside you.
