hello there...

I’m Em Connors! šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

I made 6-figures in the first 2 months of 2023 working during school hours (9a-3p, AKA when my kiddos are in school). ⁠

It's what I consider to be the dream ✨come true✨⁠

I did a few things CONSISTENTLY to leave my 9-5 to become a full-time solopreneur/online course creator/emotionally stable, happy, and available wife + mama. šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøā 

⁕ I chose ONE social media platform⁠ (IG, duh)

⁕ I learned it inside and out⁠

⁕ And I posted 6x a week for 5 months leading up to my first course launch⁠

Let me teach you how to batch 30 days of content in 5-6 hours WHILE working a 9-5 and mom'ing two toddlers.⁠
