I transitioned from a thriving corporate career in marketing and publishing, to being a fulltime stay-at-home mother in 2022 because it was a choice that was profoundly important for our family. As an ambitious and capable woman with many dreams and talents, this shift has been both challenging and rewarding.

When I left my first corporate job to work part-time for my church, I was driven by such a desire to serve not only my local fellowship, but as a newly married woman, I knew that I had a heart for home and family life and wanted to pour well into it. My passion for building a joyful, adventurous, and successful life for my tribe became a priority to me. I wanted to learn how to be intentional in creating a nurturing environment and focus on mapping out and bringing to life our unique family values.

Alongside this, my love for marketing and communications remained strong. I often felt the tension between pursuing this interest, and focusing solely on my home life. But what if there didn’t need to be a choice? What if I could beautifully and carefully blend the two while remaining authentic to who I am, and my journey as a woman, Christian, wife, mother, daughter and friend?

I have always had a natural ability in communications, and connecting with others in my own way. My husband encouraged me to pick up my love for this again and document my journey of growth during this transformative season of motherhood so here I am. Slowly, faithfully and authentically showing up as me- Alethea. Blogging is a real gift in the sense that it provides a space for us to have a creative release, as well as building a community of likeminded people who can journey along with us.

One of my worries about being a stay-at-home mother was how we would thrive financially (as this was one of our family goals). I was also deeply insecure about being at home because up until then, I believed that success for me as a woman was only linked to my output in a corporate office. Blogging has released all of that for me and has proven to be a vehicle that has unlocked financial blessing for us as a family, and we see so much potential in it! I believe we can thrive wherever we are. It requires hard work and wholehearted dedication, but it’s possible to build a fulfilling life from what God has placed in our hands, minds, and hearts.

I am a stay-at-home mother and a homeschooling mum to three beautiful boys. Our goal isn’t to become millionaires; if I am honest, the pursuit of wealth can be so exhausting and we want to take stock of where we are using all of our energy. Instead, I aim to create a meaningful, sustainable, and slow-paced income that allows us to feel grateful for our achievements, and build on our goals slowly; all through blogging!

I want to help other beautiful mamas who feel the heart to be based from home to build their families that they can absolutely do this! Staying at home and building a life from there is just as valuable as having a corporate career. We can build systems that serve our family values, and we can earn incomes from home, and build a wonderful community all at the same time.

Life is for living and we want to live it to the fullest with our favourite people.

We don’t want to be chained to a draining 9-5 with no freedom.

We also don’t want to be chained to our laptops, hustling 24/7 to build businesses all in the quest to achieve more and more and more.

I’m here to encourage and help you build a sustainable business that not only has financial blessing attached to it, but gives you peace, enjoyment and freedom to live your dream life without overwhelm. Personally, I don’t want hustle culture – it isn’t suited to me. I don’t want boss babe. I don’t want to be on the hamster wheel, or in front of flashing lights. My heart leans towards the simple, deep and quiet.

You also were not made to spend your life working and pouring into a life that you don’t enjoy. God has put so much in you, and you can connect with that, do work you LOVE, get paid really well for it, and serve your family in a way that works for you- all through blogging.

You can start a blog too and make money from home while helping others too.
