As a mom who homeschools, homemakes, and runs a business from home, I’ve come to accept that the work I do might not always be recognized in the way the world values success. I may not be clocking in 9-5 or receiving big corporate bonuses, and my paycheck may not reflect millions—but that doesn’t make the impact any less meaningful. Because the work I’m doing? It’s going to ripple through generations.
Every day, I pour my energy into my children’s education and into creating a home that feels safe, nurturing, and full of love. I know that what they learn here, and the values they absorb, will shape their futures and, in turn, the futures of those they encounter. I don’t need the world’s approval for this; I know that what I’m building is priceless.
Yes, I run a business from home, too—a business that gives me the chance to connect with other moms, helping them prioritize their wellness and find balance. It may not bring in millions, but it brings meaning. I’m able to help other women see their own value and take steps to care for themselves, so they too can be present and thrive. This isn’t the kind of work that society always values, but it’s work I know God has called me to do. And I believe the impact will stretch far beyond today.
The truth is, I don’t need anyone’s approval but God’s. This journey I’m on is about fulfilling a calling to serve others, to put goodness into the world, and to do it with integrity. At the end of my life, I want to look back and know that I used my energy to create a legacy that pleases Him—a legacy that’s built on kindness, compassion, and support for other moms.
If financial blessings come along the way, that’s wonderful. But it’s not why I’m here. My purpose is greater than profit, and my reward will be in the lives I’ve touched and the hearts I’ve helped to uplift. So, to every mom who feels unseen in her daily work or undervalued in her purpose—know this: the work you’re doing is eternal. You’re impacting generations to come, creating ripples of change that will outlast any paycheck. Embrace it, honor it, and know that your legacy is real.
