the (unhappy) secret all WAHMs share

By ashleygainer | June 1, 2017

Here’s a little bit of real, raw, unvarnished truth for you today… but don’t worry, we’re going somewhere great. One of the things that every single work-at-home mom feels at some point is this: Crushing, debilitating mama guilt. Seriously, how many of us don’t deal with that even when we aren’t trying to juggle a […]

Work-at-home productivity tips for when productivity is impossible

By ashleygainer | May 15, 2017

Working from home is awesome. I know, because I’ve been doing it since 2010. No more stuffy jackets, no more pinchy work shoes, no more interminable meetings with coworkers who love the sound of their own voices. I love working from home because I can control my workload, work hours, and (to some extent) my […]

4 proven ways to become a better freelance writer

By ashleygainer | May 1, 2017

The great thing about being a freelance writer from home is that you have a way to bring in some money (or even make a full-time living) while still being able to focus on your family and its priorities. I love being a blogger for hire because it offers at-home moms a legitimate way to […]

Self-Sabotage: The terrible thing about being a work-at-home mom

By ashleygainer | April 1, 2017

May I make a confession to you? I really feel like I should be “further along in my career” than I am. I get frustrated that my rates aren’t as high as they should be for someone who’s been doing this for as long as I have. I sigh and shake my head when I […]

Freelancing as a Single Mom: My Success Story

By ashleygainer | February 1, 2017

I was 8 months pregnant when my husband and I separated. The baby I thought I’d never have was just 5 weeks from arriving, and the plan had been for me to be a stay-at-home mom. I didn’t see it coming. Plans change — that’s no surprise to anyone. And in that moment, almost every […]

Thank you, Ashley! By following your advice I just got my first paying gig.

Without a website or any social media presence! I used the clips I created in Clips Camp and I just decided to go for it. I would not have taken these steps to launch my freelance business without your guidance. You are so real and honest about your journey; you made freelance writing seem possible. And now it is possible for me. I have never felt more confident in myself and my abilities!

Your classes, Facebook group, Instagram, and just general approachability have really driven me to want to succeed at this.

It feels like someone is in my corner all the time. Thanks for your mentoring- keep up the great work!!
