ABOUT THIS EPISODE


Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to work from home and actually get work done! 

I’ve been wanting to do this episode for years now, because while I’ve been working from home for almost 10 years (wild, right?) I know that it’s a new-ish thing for so many of us. We know that work from home has become SO much more common in these last few years. Especially since the pandemic started, so many of us work from home sometimes, have hybrid schedules, or are fully remote. 

And while working from home has its perks, for sure, it also has a whole new set of challenges. And that’s what we’re going to talk about today! 

Our guest for today’s episode is my new friend, Elizabeth McCravy! Elizabeth is a Nashville-based wife, mom, podcaster, and website designer! She designs and sells the most beautiful Showit website templates (which we’ll be sure to link to in the show notes along with a discount code.) And she does all of that while working from home! 

She has SO much wisdom and insight to share on the topic of work-from-home life, and I cannot wait for you to hear from her!
