Hey friend,
I want to share something honest with you before your next email from me lands in your inbox.
When you first subscribed, I was writing about weight loss and healthy eating. That was the version of me I was working on at the time — building habits, figuring out what a healthy day looked like, sharing what I’d learned along the way.
And then I became a mother.👩👦
Motherhood reshaped everything. What I say yes to. What I let go of. How I spend my days. And honestly — how I earn.
I’ve been working from home. Not because it’s a trend. Because this season of life actually requires it. Small windows. Flexible hours. A laptop open at the kitchen table between nap times, feeds, and school runs.
Somewhere in those small windows, I realised the thing I most needed to read — and couldn’t find anywhere — wasn’t another healthy-eating plan. It was an honest guide for women trying to build income around real life. Around real kids. Around real exhaustion.
So I’m changing what this newsletter is.
Kitchen Table Career is now about building income from home, on your own terms. Written from where I actually am — same kitchen table you’re reading this at.
Every issue lands on the same day each week, in one of five buckets:
Getting Started — how to take the first step without overthinking it
Skills & Services — naming what you already know, and selling it
Money Mindset — the money conversations nobody has with you
Time & Balance — building this around your life, not the other way round
Reader Stories — the wins, the wobbles, the honest middles
Short enough to read in 10 minutes. Honest enough to actually use. No fluff. No faking it. No “girlboss” energy.
Issue 1 drops tomorrow on Tuesday: “5 Skills You Already Have as a Mom That Clients Will Pay For.”
If this new direction isn’t what you signed up for, I completely understand — unsubscribe with my blessing. I’d rather have 50 real readers than 5,000 polite strangers.
But if it sounds like a conversation you want to be part of, stay with me. I’d love to build it with you.
See you in your inbox in a few hours,
Lana Reynolds,
Kitchen Table Career
