Rapper turned doting papa Jay-Z famously rapped that you ‘can’t knock the hustle’.
Well I believe you can’t knock the side hustle, especially if you’re a new mum trying to rescue your brain from post-natal mush.
The whole experience of pregnancy and birth can lead to a period of creative awakening and a discovery of new or forgotten skills and talents.
As jugglers of home management, family finances and (often extreme) child-rearing, stay-at-home parents are perfectly poised to run their own mini empires, right from their kitchen tables.
And sometimes taking time off from the rat race while on maternity leave can be all the inspiration you need to kickstart a new career direction.
But where do you begin to look for a gig that can be balanced with the daily demands of bringing up baby?
Before you leap back in with corporate heels and shoulder-pads a-blazing, it’s a good idea to scope out the work scene and see what fits with your new life role.
