I'm on a mission to help other working moms create and live an intentional life.

My story

I’m a working mom of 3. With over a decade of corporate experience, I spent pre-mama hood focused on climbing a ladder, burning the candle at both ends, and setting myself up for burn out. No one could have prepared me for the 180 my heart-desire would take after having children.

I was confident I’d come back and not skip a beat…

  • I didn’t know I wouldn’t want to (at least not in the same way as before)

  • I didn’t know every fiber of my being would be transformed by motherhood.

  • I didn’t know what I didn’t know…

Like so many moms, I returned from maternity leave seeking work life balance, but quickly realized, that’s not realistic. The pressure to maintain this balance brought with it more stress and a feeling that I was failing at all the things. What I really wanted was harmony. I wanted an ebb and flow. To accomplish this though, I first had to get clear on my values and priorities, set boundaries, identify my needs, and then build the confidence to go after it. In my journey, I realized there wasn’t much out there for those who were navigating the grey…

  • Those who didn’t want to stop working or needed to work, but needed it to be different.

  • Those who felt really torn and needed support to make the decision.

  • Or those who knew what they wanted or knew the kind of mom they wanted to be, but didn’t know how to make it happen. I’ve experienced it all. Now I’m on a mission to help other working moms embrace their calling in motherhood and at work.

Find your most authentic self in motherhood

I’m here to offer other women what I wished I’d had -- someone to help me navigate the grey of the motherhood transformation. I never really fit in, it felt as though there were moms on one side that just seemed to have so easily given up work or never wanted it to begin with and moms on the other that were 100% devoted to their careers. In my experience, there’s a large core group in the middle who at some point will find themselves in the midst of this transformation/identity crisis thinking:

  • What the heck is happening / has happened to me?

  • I don’t know what I’m doing anymore.

  • I’m struggling with what I want, work doesn’t feel the same as it did before.

  • How do I get from here to there?

  • How do I maintain or build my career and be the mom I want to be?

If you’re a working mom trying to figure it out. I’m your people, you're mine. Let’s build a community together.

You don’t have to figure out the gray alone.
