Moms, in particular, tend to take on too much and say yes to everything, and this can take a toll on our physical, mental, and emotional health. Even though our superpowers kick in, our hearts are in the right place but realistically it is all very difficult to balance. Do not drown yourself in chores, many moms stare in the face of the endless to-do list and all it does is make us feel inadequate. Let us handle everything for you, so you can spend quality time with your loved ones.
What are some of your hobbies?
My hobbies are traveling, cooking, decorating, and spending time with family and friends.
How do you juggle work and motherhood?
Juggling motherhood with a demanding business has been helped by an optimistic, problem-solving disposition – an ability to get through things even when they feel impossible. My inbox is never empty, once the kids go to sleep; I hop back on email to handle anything that came in since I left or to get a jump on things for the next day. I make sure that Mia and Liam understand that the company is important not only to me but also to them. Whenever possible, I expose them to parts of my work so that they can be more involved and understanding.
Yet the hardest lesson I learned was that mothers cannot have it all. None of us are doing it perfectly, but every mom is doing her best. I do not believe that a mother can do everything, but I do believe that they can do anything!
What is the best piece of advice you’ve received from another mom?
The best advice I have received from another mom – “Take time for yourself”
