From passion to paycheck
How to turn what you love into an income 💵
Have you ever had that thought “what if i could make money from doing what I love?”
Then you are not alone and more importantly you are not crazy. Turning your passion into profit is not only possible, it is powerful.
Especially for moms, who are creative, resourceful, and deeply driven.
Whether it’s an obsession with home decor, a love for wellness, or a talent for writing - your passion can become your pathway to more fulfillment, freedom, and money.
Here is a guide on how to bring that dream into reality (even with children!)
✨️ Start with the spark
What light you up and makes you feel excited? What could you do for free, every day?
Maybe it’s designing cozy spaces, making beautiful meals, curating outfits, or crafting beautiful things.
💡Tip: Pay attention to what you are good at and what people always compliment you on. That is your gold.
🎀 Test it
You don’t have to go full time, full speed right away. Start quietly, but just start.
Share a few things online. Notice how you feel. If you feel awkward or are worried about what people will say, post it anyway.
Offer a free service or resource and see how it is received.
Start a blog, create a digital product shop and post one thing. One blog post on something you are passionate about or one digital product.
Give yourself 20 minutes a day to dedicate to your passion project. The consistency will add up.
💡Mom hack: Use screen time strategically - this 20 minutes is your creative hour, not your guilt zone.
🎀 Package your passion into an offer
Once you have tested the waters ask: what problem does my passion solve? Your passion becomes profitable when it's a solution to a problem.
Can you turn the information you want to share into an ebook?
Can you offer a service, either in person or remotely?
Can you teach something that inspires others (blogging, YouTube, social media)
Your passion is valuable - but it becomes sellable when it’s clear how it helps someone else.
If you a multi passionate mama, like me!, start small. Just one offer or post. Don't offer too many different things at once so your audience can really understand what you offer.
🪞 Build a brand around your real life
Youbdon’t need to pretend you are someone else. In fact, your authenticity is your super power.
People want to get to know and connect with the mind behind the brand. Be honest: show the messy playroom, the coffee fueled mornings, the behind the scenes of when you create and work. It's all relatable. Relatable builds trust and trust sells.
☕️ Real talk: You're not behind because you are a mom. You're more qualified. You are an expert on multitasking, you know how to manage emotions, stretch a budget, and can problem solve like a boss. That is CEO energy.
💕 Make it easy to buy from you
Whether you are offering a $5 digital product or a high end design service, make it easy.
Use free tools like link tree, Instagram, tiktok, or a create a simple website.
Offer clear pricing that feels right in your nervous system and make your offer easy to understand.
Start simply by making one post, sending one email or DM, before you buy a domain or upgrade your office and computer.
Clarity = Confidence = Cash
🧸 Let your kids witness your magic
I have said this in a previous article but here’s the thing: you're not just building a business - you're building a legacy.
Let your kids see you light up while you work. Let them witness a woman following her passion, solving problems, serving others, and building something of her own.
This is real generational wealth: watching you believe in yourself.
💗 you are not taking time away from them - you're showing them what is possible.
There have been many times that I have blogged from indoor playgrounds, while my daughter does ballet, or while we wait at the Dr's office. My children know that mommy has a blog and they know they are my reasons why I do it. 💕
I also carry a notebook in my purse for the times we are out and I get an inspired idea and need to write it down before mommy brain strikes!
🌹Stay soft and in your feminine energy always
Remember this isn’t a hustle or a grind. This is about flowing with what you are passionate about and getting it out into the world.
Launch your passion project from your feminine energy. Build in breaks, know that somedays you won’t get to work and that's ok. Some seasons will be slower (sick kids, school breaks, summer chaos) and other seasons will thrive.
Most importantly, don’t give up when things feel quiet. Business grows in cycles.
☀️ your goal isn’t overnight success. It is slow, steady, soul aligned growth. We are building wealth with a solid foundation.
🌙 Mindset is everything
Starting anything from a positive mindset is more likely to bring better results. We have to believe in what we are doing and selling. If we don't, how do we expect others to? So if any doubts come up, try to find where and who they are coming from (maybe as a child you felt like you weren't good enough or you were always criticized) and keep working on them until they are gone. A morning journal practice can really help with this!
Your next steps (mama edition)
Name your passion. What do you love to do? What energizes you?
Create a micro offer. What can you offer in the next few days to start the momentum?
Claim a window of time. Even 20 minutes a day 3x a week. Commit to it.
Start sharing online. Show up as you are, you are perfect right now!
🌸 You deserve to be lit up too
As wives and mother’s, you pour so much into everyone else. But your passions deserve to be recognized. Not just as a hobby, but as a career.
This isn’t really about money (but that does help!) It is about making space in the world for who you are. The woman, the little girl that is inside the mom. Let her create, let her shine, let her thrive.
Because when you do what you love, your kids grow up believing in themselves too ♥️
