264. Work-At-Home Moms: Asking for Help + Getting It All Done | Melissa Ferguson of The Friendly Farmhouse

I love chatting with fellow work-at-home moms who share in the joys and struggles of managing motherhood, homemaking, homeschooling, business, homesteading, rest, community, and more. Today’s conversation with published author Melissa Ferguson takes us behind the scenes of a fiction writer’s life. We talk through carefully choosing your “yeses” in each season, embracing rest, prioritizing family, and learning things the hard way in business. Whether you have a dream of writing or some other endeavor, this practical look at how Melissa gets it all done will inspire you along the way!

In this episode, we cover:

  • Reaching the breaking point of overwhelm and finding the right solution for you
  • A day in the life of a homesteading, homeschooling, work-at-home mom
  • Weighing which opportunities to say yes to in your season of life
  • A peek behind the curtain of the publishing world and what it takes to get a book deal
  • Best advice for a new or aspiring author
  • The importance of choosing the right representation as an author
  • What it takes to find success as an author and joy in the process
  • Practical strategies for raising children that love to read
