I’ve been getting some great questions about the free Yes, You Can Earn from Home workshop I’m teaching on Tuesday so I wanted to take a minute to answer a few of the most common ones.
If you’ve been thinking about signing up but weren’t quite sure if it’s the right fit, I hope this helps!
Q: “Working from home is something I’ve been considering but I’m not quite ready yet. Should I still watch your workshop?” – Michele
A: Absolutely! Even if you’re not ready to make a move right away, this workshop will give you clarity, encouragement, and a better sense of what’s actually possible. You’ll leave with ideas and options to keep in your back pocket for when the time is right.
Q: “Wow, this sounds amazing! Is it targeted toward specific jobs or can it apply to any work-from-home scenario?” – Emily
A: Great question! The content is designed to be broadly applicable. Whether you’re interested in flexible remote jobs, freelance work, virtual assistant roles, or launching a simple home-based business, this workshop will walk you through the best starting points for your unique situation.
Q: “Will the info be relevant if I’m not in the U.S.?” – Sherry
A: While some of the examples I’ll share are U.S.-based, the principles and strategies apply globally. I’ll focus on mindset, skill-building, and how to find opportunities that fit your season, wherever you live.
Q: “Will there be a replay? And would this be something my daughter (who’s a senior in high school) could attend?” – Patty
A: Yes to both! A replay will be sent out afterward in case you can’t join live (just make sure you’re signed up!). And yes! Your daughter is more than welcome. In fact, I think this is a fantastic workshop for high schoolers or college students who want to explore ways to earn extra income from home.
Q: “Quick question: Is a webinar like Zoom? Like are participants’ faces shown on the screen, or are we just watching a live video? Is there a chat box feature or not?”
A: Great question! It’s not like a group Zoom call where everyone’s cameras are on. You’ll just see me teaching, and you can watch from the comfort of your home — no makeup or quiet background required. Yes, there is a chat box, and I’ll be reading and responding to your comments live during the workshop!
If you’ve been thinking about working from home or just want to explore what’s possible I hope you’ll join me!

In 2004, I sat on our thrifted couch, six months pregnant, staring at the glowing computer screen.
I had no degree. No real experience.
No impressive resume. No idea what I was doing.
But I did know one thing: I had to figure out a way to earn income from home.
We were on a beans-and-rice budget while my husband, Jesse, was in law school, and I was determined to be home with our baby on the way. I couldn’t afford to waste time or money chasing scams or dead-end ideas.
So I got creative. I used what I did have: a laptop, an internet connection, a burning desire, a whole lot of grit, and lots of time!
And now, more than 20 years later? I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same.
(A picture from our little basement apartment when I was working really hard to get my business off the ground and making a lot of mistakes but learning and slowly starting to see progress. Micah, our 3-year-old, saw this picture on my computer screen this week and said, “Dad, you look younger!!”)
If you’ve ever wished for a way to earn income from home — one that fits your life, your values, and your season — I want to personally invite you to something really special I’m doing this coming Tuesday:
Free Live Workshop: Yes, You Can Earn from Home
How to Start Working From Home Without a Degree, Experience, or a Huge Following

In just 60 minutes, I’ll walk you through the three most practical, realistic paths to earning income from home. Whether you want something flexible on the side or hope to replace a full-time paycheck, this is for you!
✔️ The truth about working from home (and what most people get wrong)
✔️ The 3 best ways to earn from home and how to choose one that fits your life
✔️ Why you don’t need a degree, impressive resume, or large social media following to succeed
✔️ Real-life stories from women who started small and saw big results
✔️ The biggest mistakes beginners make and how to avoid them
This isn’t fluff. It’s step-by-step guidance + real encouragement to help you take your very first step — without the overwhelm.
👉 Grab your free spot here — before it fills up!
I’ll also introduce a brand-new program I created for women who want deeper support. I’ve also saved time at the end for a live Q&A so I can personally answer your questions.
If you’ve felt stuck, unsure, or like you missed your chance, I want you to know that it’s not too late.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start. And this workshop could be that first small step that leads to something really big.
Note: Even if you can’t attend live, go ahead and register! I’ll make sure you get the replay afterwards! https://moneysavingmom.lpages.co/free-workshop/
Want to work on or invest in your marriage? Don’t miss this AMAZING deal on the 2025 Marriage Bundle for just $35!! This is a $400 value and includes 26 incredible resources, including my One-Hour Budget product!
I know firsthand how hard it can be to carve out time to connect with your spouse when the to-do list never seems to end. And that’s why I’m thrilled to share this deal with you!
If you’ve been looking for ways to invest in your marriage, you’re going to love this deal!
It’s the 2025 Marriage Bundle — a thoughtfully curated collection of the very best courses, ebooks, date night ideas, printables, and workshops… all bundled together to help you build a happier, stronger, more connected marriage — without spending hundreds of dollars (or hours) trying to find great resources on your own!
The best part? This bundle of 26 marriage-building tools is worth $400, but you can get it for just $35 when you use this link. (You’ll see it listed at $50, but just add it to your cart to get an automatic extra $15 discount, making the price drop to $35!)
Seriously — just $35. That’s over 90% off and less than $1.50 per resource! 🎉
Marriage takes intentionality. And when you’ve got kids to raise, meals to make, and emails to answer, it’s easy to let connection with your spouse slip to the bottom of the list.
This bundle makes it so simple to put your marriage back near the top — and do it in fun, practical, and even lighthearted ways!
Here’s why I LOVE this bundle:
This bundle is jam-packed with value, and I’m super honored and excited to have my very own One-Hour Budget product included in it!
When the folks over at The Dating Divas surveyed their audience, they heard over and over again that finances are one of the biggest struggles for married couples and that including a financial product in this bundle would be really helpful.
I’m a big believer that one of the best gifts you can give your marriage is clear, honest communication—especially when it comes to money. That’s exactly why I created The One-Hour Budget. I wanted to give couples a simple, stress-free way to get on the same page financially without feeling overwhelmed.
Whether you’re just starting out or need a reset, this tool walks you through a practical, no-fluff approach to building a budget together—in just one hour. Because when you’re united in your finances, it strengthens so many other areas of your relationship, too!
And the best part is that you can buy my budgeting product… and get 25 additional marriage resources to go with it — all for just $10 more than the price of The One-Hour Budget! How cool is that?! This is such a fantastic deal!
I also went through the bundle myself and picked out my top three favorites. It was hard to pick because this bundle is jam-packed with value, but here were 3 that I really, really loved and thought would be helpful:
Just be sure to grab it before July 27th, because it’s only available until then! After that, you’d have to purchase each item individually (which would cost over $400).
If your marriage could use a little more joy, connection, fun, or closeness right now… this is such an affordable way to invest in it!

In this printable, you’ll find outside-the-box ways to earn using skills you already have — even if your schedule is packed. These aren’t the typical “start a YouTube channel” or “become a rideshare driver” ideas you’ve heard before. Instead, I’m sharing realistic, flexible options that real women (just like you!) can start quickly.
When your plate is already full, the idea of starting a side hustle can feel overwhelming. But I also know how empowering it is to earn your own extra money — whether you’re saving for something special, paying down debt, or simply wanting more breathing room in your budget.
These ideas were designed to help you start simply. No giant learning curve. No complicated systems. Just practical ways to use your creativity, time, and talents to bring in extra income.
Whether you’re working full-time, managing a household, or just feeling stretched thin, every idea in this FREE guide was chosen with flexibility in mind. These side hustles work around your life — not the other way around.
You don’t need huge pockets of free time or a complicated business plan to get started. Most of these ideas can be done in short bursts of time, in the evenings, or on weekends. Even better? Many of them use the skills and resources you already have.
Because earning extra income shouldn’t feel overwhelming. It should feel doable — and even fun!
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to earn a little extra… I just don’t know how,” this freebie is for you. Whether you’re in a season of financial need or simply looking for a creative outlet that pays, I hope this encourages and equips you to take the next step. You’ve got this!
