- Learn to not take things personally. Move on from experiences.
- Things don’t have to be balanced all the time. You may feel unbalanced but it’s really about how you work through it that makes you excel and push through.
- It’s OK to stand up for what you believe in.
- Believe in what you want to do. Show up and kill it. There is enough space for you to do what you love.
Actionable Solutions
How to Schedule a Productive Week
- Sunday evening, prepare lunches and homework for the kids.
- Get a huge physical calendar and write all of the things for everyone in the household on it.
- Put the calendar in a communal space (like the kitchen) so everyone can know what everybody is doing. That way you won’t miss pajama day at school or know what time kids need to be picked up, etc.
Hardest Decision To Make as a Mom
- Leaving the security of a job she really loved. Every decision is hard because kids are so impressionable. The second hardest decision was schooling and after-care.
A-Ha Moment About Parenting
- There are moments where she gets on her kids about certain things, but she will always try to put the kids to bed on a positive note. When you harp on them, you’re the one that is taking it more personal than them. They are over it way before you realize it. Tell them you love them at the end of the night so you can close the circle of that encounter.
Most Excited About
- Growing the company and scaling the team because there are a lot of exciting brands she is working with.
