Young children have an amazing gift to live in the moment. Regardless of the chaos of their surroundings, they live their best possible lives right now. There’s a lesson adults can learn from this.

There’s been a lot of focus on breaking the myth of working moms needing to have it all, but not enough focus on just how much moms are actually doing. Working, full-time or part-time, still doing most of the childcare and housework, trying to find time for wellness, friends, cooking, planning birthday parties, holidays, family vacations, etc. And ultimately, feeling like a failure or getting completely burnt out when they realize it’s impossible to do everything for everyone.

What we’re missing here is COMMUNITY.

A bit long, but important conversation on the identity shift that happens when you become a mom. Yes, you will experience an identity shift and you can love and feel empowered by the new version of you.

Personally, I have no qualms with the term balance, or integration, or harmony. I don't care what you call it, the problem with achieving it isn't the term, it's our mindset.

Being self-compassionate is HARD! In fact, I titled this article "Self-Compassion is for Badasses," because I feel there is this assumption that self-compassion is soft, but it is the exact opposite.

Career shifts are hard, but they’re even harder when you’re a mom making a transition that changes not just your job, but your identity.
