Ever hopped on a Zoom call just as your dog started barking at the UPS delivery guy? Or watched helplessly as your five-year-old smashed her finger in a kitchen drawer while you were on a very important phone call with very stuffy office people… so you desperately started shoving M&Ms in the kiddo’s mouth to keep her from wailing? {Tell me it’s not just me.}
Everybody knows there are no wailing children in business, right? Or wrong?
As work-from-home content creators and entrepreneurs, our daily lives overlap our daily work responsibilities. What does professional conduct look like in this situation? Is it possible to run a family and a business from home… without feeling like an amateur (or a basket case)?

Highlights:

- Are you bringing your true character to your business?
- Welcoming clients and colleagues into your home-based business means welcoming them into your life

- When we appear relatable and show our humanity, we offer hope
- How Jesus is our best model for authenticity in business

Philippians 2:6-8: “Because even Jesus, Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”
