Four years ago, I was desperate for work-life balance and hopelessly searching for happiness.
My business was failing, I was suffering from an unexplained neurological illness, and my marriage was ending.
Finally, on my 32nd birthday, enough was enough. That day, instead of wishing- I made a promise to myself. I was taking my life back. As scary as it was to take that first step, it was even scarier to not take it. No more hoping. I was hell bent on creating my happiness. I spent the next year in a beautiful lake house soul-searching and writing my Manifesto.
With the Manifesto as my guide, I transformed from disaster to renewal in just 12 months. No more 80 hour weeks, instead I spent a strategic 30 hours on genuinely worthwhile work. My sales goals of $500,000 were shattered by hitting $5 million. I created systems to ensure my family and my health came first- not work. I was finally blissfully happy!
Never again will I lose that balance and control over my life. I wrote The Working Mom Manifesto in hopes that my candor will spark meaningful conversations about Moms, work, and the struggles for work-life balance we all face.
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, career mom, or mom entrepreneur- we unite as “Moms” here. This is a judgment-free zone and I welcome you to our community. I look forward to hearing your story!
