E28: Workin' Moms and Remote Careers

Erin and Sarah talk about the myths and truths of what working from home entails, especially for moms. Working and learning remotely takes self accountability and self-motivation, but moms have more possibilities than ever today with online and remote working opportunities.

1:51

Sarah talks about her own professional background that has never been in a traditional office and her belief in the power of mental breaks and deep mental work.

5:03

The Pearson Global Learners Study from August 2020 says that education is forever changed and learners are shifting where and when and how they want to learn and online learning is here to stay: for better or worse.

7:08

How does a mom start online working? Sarah and Erin brainstorm some ideas of careers moms can start out by learning onlining and growing a business, even if it’s remote.

9:22

One of the important sets of skills for a digital workplace includes self-discipline, motivation, and time management in protecting your time for deep thought when it’s your time to work.

14:31

Remote working opportunities are allowing employees, especially stay-at-home moms new

opportunities to jump into the workforce, but not at a full 40-hour commitment away from home.

17:36

Sarah addresses her pet peeve of “soft skills” and how remote workers need soft skills as much as hard skills in the remote workforce. Knowing multiple languages helps remote workers find diverse benefits and job opportunities.

Erin is a homeschooling mama of three munchkins that loves running (slower than most people walk), traveling, and can recite the alphabet backwards while opening a bottle of wine. Sarah is a curious minded mama of one small human, enjoys writing, takes forever to read a book for leisure, and can order McDonald's at a Japanese and German drive through.
