A working Mom’s truth.

February 13, 20231 min read

I haven’t slept through the night in over 6 months.

The other morning with breast milk all over my shirt and coffee in my hand, I thought about how fortunate I am.

In the U.S, most women are “back to work” by now.

Their newborn is probably waking throughout the night, even multiple times, because the 4-month sleep regression is real… managing feeds, pumps, etc., on top of it all… and within hours they need to be showered, presentable, functioning—and ready to work their 9 to 5.

Thinking through this made me feel a sense of rage. For the high expectations and low support placed on mothers.

It also made me feel immense gratitude. For the fact that this is not my reality. If it were, I’m not sure I’d make it. I suppose we always find a way, but it’s not something I can wrap my sleep-deprived brain around.

I feel gratitude for having a business that I’ve created which allows me to work 3 days a week and earn a corporate income. For work days that rarely start before late morning and finish well before dinner hours.

For having both my purpose work and my family in their rightful place—because both fuel me. Both are required. And it’s not always easy.

Big love to all the workin’ moms (and mamas in general).

May you know how extraordinary - and deserving of proper support - you are.

It’s been over and beyond what I thought it would be

Before we started working together I was seeing clients and I was making money, paying the bills. But I didn't realize just how small I was allowing myself to play until I started working with you. It’s been over and beyond what I thought it would be—over and beyond.
