While I feel extremely qualified to write about how to work towards your CPCU during Life With Young Children (alternately titled ‘Not Your Life Anymore’), this is not intended to be a step-by-step guide.
My road to CPCU included a full-time job with my fifth baby making his appearance right in the middle, along with all of the curveballs that 2020 decided to throw.
That said, you are also in the middle of Life.
If you are still reading this article, then there is a pretty good chance that you have young children (or you are thinking about having them, or have had them, or know people who have them…) And chances are that if you told me all the things that fill your life, I would probably grip my life close to my chest and back away slowly because my particular version of busy is known and your busy sounds daunting.
I am really grateful that I did not put off starting (or completing) the CPCU designation because of the chaos of raising a young family. Already this designation is helping me to achieve better things for my family, which was exactly the intent I held for this objective.
