Hannah Dewar shares her journey from full-time employment to entrepreneurship, describing how she created a flexible business model centered around her family priorities. She walks us through the faith and practical decisions that led her to launch Lovely Nine Months, her fitness and nutrition coaching business for pregnant and postpartum women.

• Working as a chiropractic assistant provided valuable experience but created logistical challenges after having her daughter
• Commuting between home, childcare, and work sometimes took two hours of her day
• Felt convicted about not prioritizing her highest calling as a mother and disciple
• Made the courageous decision to step away from her job before seeing financial provision
• Downsized their home and moved in with in-laws to create financial flexibility
• Built her business slowly and intentionally, focused on word-of-mouth growth
• Approaches business decisions by discerning between "striving" and "grace"
• Creates a welcoming environment for moms by allowing children at training sessions
• Recommends 100g of protein daily during pregnancy and weightlifting 2-3 times weekly
• Suggests putting workout times on the calendar "like a business meeting" for postpartum recovery
• Values the small, everyday moments with her daughter that became possible through her career shift
