“How do you find time for yourself while raising two young kids?” I get this question almost daily, whether it’s from another mom at the playground, a friend texting me at 11 PM, or someone sliding into my DMs after seeing my Instagram stories. And every time, I wish I could give them a magic […]

A therapist’s question that stopped me in my tracks I was sitting in my therapist’s office last Tuesday, doing what I do best, explaining away another situation where I’d completely abandoned my own needs.

Pre-kids, my colleagues would marvel at how I managed complex projects, working overtime, while maintaining an active social life and a pristine home. I thought I had it all figured out. Then my first child arrived, and my carefully constructed world of efficient […]

Some days you’re crushing it, and others you’re just trying to keep everyone alive and fed. After three years of parenting two under five, I’ve learned a few things about managing daily chaos, though I’m […]

Hey mama! Let’s real talk for a minute. This motherhood journey? It’s beautiful chaos, filled with the highest highs and some pretty challenging moments too. Some days you’re rocking it in your superhero cape, and others… well, dry shampoo counts as self-care, right? 😉 Here’s what I want you to know deep in your soul: […]

The day I brought my first son home, I thought I knew what to expect. I’d read all the books, downloaded all the apps, and prepared as much as any first-time mom could. But nothing—absolutely nothing—could have prepared me for what lay ahead. It was 2021, and the world had ground to a halt. As […]
