I am Coach Donna Marie. I am a remote worker who opted-in for a more flexible schedule and the ability to make a legitimate income from the same home office where I spent years working on my masters degree during the pandemic. After graduating with a Masters of Art in Executive Leadership, I was interviewing for positions for a few months when I found out about remote work that seemed to be a good opportunity for me.
ABOUT THE PODCAST AND UPCOMING EPISODES
Did you know that I am the host of the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast? In previous seasons, we covered topics targeted towards women leaders who are recovering from trauma and crisis. These ranged from recognizing toxic perfectionism, to getting rid of money mistake shame, to managing grief during the holidays. During our upcoming 5th season, we’ll have more episodes just for remote workers (potentially in late summer or early fall of 2024). To listen to the Plant Your Seeds of Transformation podcast, go to PlantYourSeeds.show or search for it most podcast platforms.
REMOTE WORKERS DESERVE MORE SUPPORT
I am committing to providing content just for remote workers in this upcoming season because I am well aware they don’t always get as much support as their in-office counterparts. But remote workers work just as hard, if not harder, and deserve to be well supported, too. One thing that I am making available to help remote workers is a free download with business tips. You can see the link in the menu for this blog or use the link below.

WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ABOUT REMOTE WORK?
As I plan for this upcoming season, I would love to have input from you on questions you would like for me to address about remote work. For instance, are you curious which remote work platforms are available that are legitimate, legal opportunities? Do you want to know if it is a business (i.e., 1099-NEC tax form) or if it is a real job (i.e., w-2 tax form)? (If you want to email me, use my contact page – click here.)
I know for sure there are specific questions that I asked before I got started in my remote work. I’ll be publishing additional content about this (e.g. types of questions to ask before starting remote work) on my medium blog soon. If you follow me on Medium and join my newsletter there, then you’ll receive updates when new articles are posted. I posted a list of past articles about remote work below, also.
Why do you use Medium? “I love Medium. I started reading the articles there because they have a very diverse mix of writers and topics. The topics can range from financial and business tips to cold case stories and beyond. I am a naturally curious person, so my Medium reading list continues to grow so that I’ll remember to go back and read articles over time.
I also started using their audio feature so I could keep reading hands-free. And then I started becoming friends with other Medium writers, many of whom are remote workers or digital nomads.
I am a member on Medium because the ad-free reading experience is truly excellent, as compared to other blog or news websites where I have to dodge ads from the start to the finish of the article.
