👀 Scroll for parent-friendly business news, events + funding opportunities – but first: The Mixing Babies And Business™ Community is relaunching! 🎊
A NOTE FROM AMY
Happy New Year! ✨️ I've decided I'd like to pay it forward in 2025.
Because since 2016, parents around the world have been kind enough to answer my questions, offer their help, provide their advice and time, while I tried to invest in myself alongside our three kids.
💌 So here is my invitation to you...
I'm hosting a year-long virtual experience for $25 CAD, available to parents pursuing entrepreneurship, flexible and remote work (with kids).
Think of it as a year of digital surprises, hosted by an accidental-turned-intentional activist in your ear (me, Amy ) and inbox as a mentor, accompanied by other parents around the world, investing in in themselves alongside their loved ones.
🎥 Click to watch the video and learn more about the Mixing Babies And Business™ Community in 2025 – these images AND words convey it best.
🌏 As a community member, you will receive:
- 1 x Virtual community and online container curated over 12 months
- 4 x Quarterly virtual events hosted online (February, May, August, November)
- 12 x Private podcasts and online content (delivered monthly on the 25th)
- 1 x $25 CAD fee = community and content access until December 31, 2025 (registration is per person, not per partnership/business)
- Candid thoughts, feedback, practical and timely advice, out-of-the-ordinary ideas and prompts to help you explore different ways of living, working and being (would I do it any other way!?)
- All based on my lived experiences, accompanied by practical resources (not traditional business books written without parents in mind)
- Registration is open throughout the year, but you'll get the most out of it if you join this month (to access the community/quarterly events)
I know it can be challenging to get results in under a few weeks. And this work can feel lonely, even though you're rarely alone.
Sometimes you simply need to receive the invitation to expand into your potential, be supported amongst a new circle of peers and focus on slow and steady progress over stress-inducing jumps, leaps and bounds.
To be seen in your messy states, laugh through it all, learn how to create joy in the little moments AND raise a little hell/smash the patriarchy while we're at it.
Because any time I have come together with others, I have truly seen it's only the beginning of where the magic, impact and change starts to unfold!
And on that note...
👀 Keeping it real: Behind the scenes in 2024 🐢
The AI tool which wrapped my year recap on LinkedIn made it sound fancy but the reality has been a lot more slow and steady...tortoise life...injury recovery and rehabilitation...gentle rest and art-filled practices to balance out the healing, advocacy and digital activities.
🎨✨️ The past decade has been spent making and raising babies, creating safe spaces for other parents and now I'm in my 'make art during school hours / bring the kiddos to my gallery openings and speaking tours' phase of life.
🎙🔮 Welcoming in all of that and more in the coming months. How about you?
