Hi!
I’m Louise, the non-coffee-drinking, ever-plate spinning, founder and editor of The Homeworker.
As someone who has worked from home for over half of my career, I understand the challenges, doubts, and anxieties around feeling good enough to let yourself and your work be seen and not having a team around you for advice and reassurance.
I wanted to create something that recognised the work from home lifestyle: the perks and the problems, the challenges around mindset and self-care, the distractions and productivity issues, and the importance of mental health.
I’m a journalist (even won an award for it some years ago), but I’m also a writer, blogger, editor, photographer, business owner, mum, wife… Like you, I wear many different hats.
As a parent, I understand the struggles of managing childcare and chores with running a home business, and the guilt around giving adequate time to the important people in your life.
It can feel so frustrating not having time to focus on your work when you’re also juggling home life, family and time for yourself (what is that?)
