Remote Work (Virtual) Retreat For Parents 🌴🌊 [ON DEMAND]

A modern, parent-friendly and accessible experience for you to drop into wherever and whenever you need to escape, retreat and recharge.

Welcoming founders, freelancers and remote workers who are also parents of school or pre-school aged kids (moms, dads, parents-to-be!) You may be building a startup, freelancing, working remotely for an employer or delivering your own fractional services.

I started doing remote work and freelancing to be location independent – after moving from Canada to Australia in 2010, then onto Europe in 2014, where my husband and I did slow travel, working and living in Ireland and England.

BUT then we had our first baby in 2016 and I was no longer doing carry-on only plane trips and leisurely deep work sessions from cafés and pubs.

It became...
• short work sprints between feeds;
• snacking alongside the baby so I could nourish myself;
• learning how to prioritize my time (helloooo time blocking);
• defining my values and saying "no" with clarity;
• upgrading my mindset, processes and routines; and
• working smarter with the tools and resources I had.

This is an 'on demand' retreat I hosted live throughout 2021 to help out other parents navigating remote and flexible work with kids – it's been created based on my learnings as a remote worker since 2014 and modified to accommodate life as a parent of three kids under 10 years old.

Invest in and look after yourself (alongside your kids).

Show up as you are.

FOUNDER + PODCAST HOST: AMY LYNCH

Hi, I'm Amy and I believe everyone deserves to design a life that works for them and their family.

I've worked in contract, flexible and remote roles spanning the business, technology, education, arts and creative industries, as both an employee and a freelance contractor in Canada, Australia, Ireland and England over the past two decades. I'm a mum of three Irish-Canadian kids and started working remotely in 2014 to have more location freedom.

Who knew bringing my babies into biz settings and events when I became a parent overseas–blogging and posting about it on social media–would lead to all of this!? I've been bringing my children into business settings since becoming a parent in 2016 and after getting frustrated by a lack of inclusive corporate spaces and programming for primary caregivers, started producing parent-friendly professional development events, digital resources and news.

My flexible work movement has been named one of Canada's Top 100 Recovery Projects in 2020 by Future of Good, a Startup Canada Community and Ecosystem Partner since 2021 and I've spoken on virtual, hybrid and in person stages (with and without my kids) over the years for CreativeMornings, Running Remote Conference, Impact Hub, Women's Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub and Digital Main Street.
