Behind the Creator
ABOUT me
Hey friend! How about we get a little comfy? Let me tell you more about how everything started ;)
I love books, travel and all things
I traveled with my kids for ten months straight once, and I started a creator business in my thirties, from scratch!

Hi there! My name is Ana, and I'm that crazy mom traveling with her kids & the creatot behind A Mom Creates.
Although I'm Ecuadorian, I've been living in North California with my hubby Luisfe, and our 3 little travelers Nala, Luka & Luna for the last 3 years!
In 2020, I decided to kick my full time job as a Restaurant Manager to the curb, and jump into the unknown world of having an online business.
I had no idea what I was doing, but I knew WHY I was doing it, and that was all I needed to start.
welcome love!
about me
If you've seen some of my content at @a.mom.creates, chances are you know I LOOOVE to travel. And one of the most incredible experiences I've had to date, was to travel with my kids for 10 months straight! Yes, I had already quit my job, and no, I did not have an online business yet. In fact, most of this trip was funded with savings and as incredible as it was, the time came when my family and I had to head back.
Talk about a snap back to reality, right? So here I was, utterly and completely MISERABLE (enter suffering emoji), "stuck" at home. Hubby was coming back to full-time work and for a little bit there...I felt lost.
And that's exactly what happened.
A couple of weeks later, I received an email from a brand, offering me the most beautiful wooden map in exchange for content. While I was not getting paid (yet), this changed EVERYTHING.
If one brand thought my content was valuable, I started wondering what other brands could be out there.

But you know what's crazy about not knowing your next step?
That it could literally be ANYTHING!!!
I got curious, very very curious, and then I got to work.

After spending 3 months in Brazil, barefoot on the beach, eating brigadeiros, I have to say that a piece of my heart will always be there. Have you been??
destinations
Of course my wild, loving, and very special Nala, Luka & our newest addition, our magical baby Luna.

You know I'm gonna say books, but aside from reading, I love my AM yoga routines, and my yummy morning coffee.
daily rituals

BOOKS!!! I'm obsessed! And that may be an understatement haha. While I love reading books that help me grow, I have such a weak spot for (spicy) romantasy!
guilty pleasure

From UGC & travel content, to DIY Miniatures and my very own programs for my Creator Mom tribe. Creating is my art and it's my happy place too!

rule breakers!
They feel the creative ZING! And know they can't help but make ripple effects every time they take actions aligned with their creative power.
My kinda mama is an explorer, in all areas of her life. Time is one the things she values the MOST and she knows that the more aligned AND ALIVE she feels, the more she can pour into others, so she plans to live her life intensely, having adventures, traveling and embracing every magical part of her.
The women in my world are
They love travel and they day-dream about living their wildest, craziest, most adventurous

After 10 years in the Restaurant industry, I decide to quit my FT job (we can thank the pandemic for the extra push).
Nala was 2 years old.

new freedom
I'm enjoying my new freedom, but feel the travel itch getting bigger and bigger. We have baby Luka and towards the end of the year, decide to go on a one way trip, which lasted 10 months!
2021
full time travel
I travel with my family for the majority of the year, and get slammed back into reality when we return. No job, no desire to get a job, so I start, without any expectations, UGC from scratch!
2022
is this real??
I go full in and end up making $29k on my first full year as a Content Creator Mom, all while growing baby # 3!!
