Hey! I’m Esther and if you click below I will message you access into my FREE class so you can get started right away!

let’s connect on Instagram!

I post daily online work help + share our adventures and behind the scenes of a legit online business!

Baby is 4 weeks tomorrow 😱 I can’t imagine le

Baby is 4 weeks tomorrow 😱 I can’t imagine leaving him with a random caregiver in 2 weeks. And 6 weeks maternity leave isn’t even standard in the US. You have to meet a ton of minimum requirements at a company that offers maternity leave in order to even be able to get the pitiful 6 weeks.

🙋🏼‍♀️ Newly single Mom with a pre teen and newborn baby trying to figure out childcare in a city where she has no family or friends because we moved here during a pandemic could have been stressful. Not to mention my ex was planning on being a SAHD so I didn’t budget for it at all.

But I realized yesterday, UM HELLO?! This is why you created @_90dayva 😂 So womxn around the world with new babies,
👩🏽‍🍼kids too young for preschool,
👩‍🏫 need school pick up and drop off in the middle of the working day,
🤒 single Moms with nobody else to help on a sick kid day,
🤕 caregivers of other family members,
🙇🏼‍♀️ those with illnesses themselves that prevent them from working traditional jobs

📝 the list goes on and on of those that NEED a flexible remote job but are stuck trying to work within the confines of a job industry not made for us 😔

👆🏽This is why the great resignation is happening. This is one reason why you see “Desperately Hiring” signs all over town. We’ve had enough! 🙅🏽‍♀️

While I figure out my plan to ease back into work next year, I don’t want you to have to wait until then to start earning a sustainable income on flex time.

So I’ve snuck open 90 Day VA one last time before 2022. We open today until Sunday November 29th, 11:59pm ⏰

This is exactly what I did to make this lifestyle happen for me and how I’ve helped over 5000 work from home on their own terms

Virtual assisting is a normal remote job open worldwide and 75% of job openings are flexible time. You aren’t signing up to be on my team, selling something or anything weird like that. You are investing in 90 Day VA to get step by step skills training, building a portfolio so you qualify for jobs + we help our students get jobs!

Happy to answer any Qs in the comments or my DMs on if 90 Day VA makes sense for you, but the link for the Black Friday special is in my bio! 👆🏽

3️⃣ Things that helped me immensely for new ba

3️⃣ Things that helped me immensely for new baby! 🤱🏼

🧘‍♀️ Hypnotherapy
I cannot rave about this enough! It’s basically like guided meditations specific for the type of delivery you are hoping to have (Eg hospital delivery). They even have them for just relaxation during pregnancy and post partum support. You do them beforehand and then when it comes time to deliver, have a sleepless night, anxiety, etc…your brain is already trained in how to respond. I was SO relaxed in between pushing due to this, it’s a big reason why as a first time Mom with an epidural I was able to get him out in 45min! It’s also how I’m able to cat nap during post partum so well. I used @natal_hypnotherapy

⏰ Not watching the clock
I love this advice I got from a book. Basically just embracing a “roll with it” vibe throughout the newborn phase. Living without schedules, routines, or expectations means I get to live presently and enjoy every moment vs counting how many hours sleep I didn’t get.

🧹 Help
My husband is gone but I was still blessed enough to be able to craft an epic post partum support team. My fridge is stocked with dinners and healthy snacks. Our family assistant does dishes, laundry, tidies and vacuums. My Mom and bestie Morgan help with big brother, errands, baby if needed, etc.

They all basically help ensure I’m kept alive so I can focus on keeping my little eating machine alive 😂 But also so I can bond and enjoy these early weeks rather then be stressed about the house and all there is to do on 2 hours of sleep.

So budget in or ask your support team for help with a weekly cleaner, babysitter, meal prep or laundry service into your first 1-3 months as a new Mom- it’s non negotiable. And remember in other cultures these are norms for new Moms to have as support from their community so it’s not bougie or “too much”

PS this account isn’t all about babies now 😂 work from home support and tips will be resuming soon too!

One moment I’m crying from joy holding my baby a

One moment I’m crying from joy holding my baby and 2 hours later I’m sobbing in bed over the trauma we’ve experienced over the last 7 weeks.

The high highs of baby love still have moments of low lows as I continue to process everything happening with my now ex husband. Hormones changing maximizes everything of course too.

I’m so thankful for such a smooth labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and (so far) a sleeping and sweet tempered baby🤞🏼

But can’t help think it’s a bit of karma I was owed 😉

I prayed and prayed in the recent weeks “God, my husband is gone, but please please make the rest of this part as easy as possible”

I’m also so very thankful for the support system helping us get settled and treating me like a queen. Morgan bestie and my Momma help me with everything and ensure buddy gets to school and activities on time. Even just someone around to help with minor things for the first days when I couldn’t bend over or move around easily. A listening ear for Buddy’s never ending stories.

Turns out we don’t need husbands to escort us into post partum and a new season of motherhood.

We just need each other 💪🏼

My middle name, Andrew, is named after my uncle. He’s the best 🥰 It means “manly” or “brave”

I had lots of hiccups in my Mommas belly and now I have them all day too 😌

I just love to look around at everyone and everything.

I’m eating like a champ but only for 15-20 minutes and then I get really sleepy so Mom has to keep waking me up.

I love to sleep in my little pods that make everyone melt 🥰

Mommy and I are having a blast 💜
