  • Working Moms Are a Business’s Best-Kept Secret

    Working Moms Are a Business’s Best-Kept Secret

    I recently had an interview for a consulting opportunity that was unlike any call I’ve ever had with a potential employer. The conversation was with the CEO, and after I explained that I began consulting to spend more time with my daughter, he started talking about working moms. “Working moms are the key to success…

  • Mom Guilt

    Mom Guilt

    If you’re a mom, you probably have mom guilt like 98% of the time, and if you don’t, please check for a pulse because how???  I’m reading Stassi Schroeder’s new book, You Can’t Have It All, and she has a chapter about mom guilt. As I was reading I was nodding along the entire chapter…

  • Grief Hides

    Grief Hides

    I’ve experienced a great deal of loss in the last few months—more than I could ever imagine. My world came apart, and then came apart again, and then again. Every time I got knocked down, I brushed it off and stood back up without fully catching my breath. I pushed down my feelings and worked…

  • My Struggle As A Working Mom

    My Struggle As A Working Mom

    Lately, I’ve been feeling this immense guilt for working a full-time job and missing out on key moments in my little one’s life. I’m thankful that I get to work from home and enjoy small yet sweet moments with her throughout the day in between meetings. Still, I’m typically in my office between 7 am…

  • 30 Days of Yoga

    30 Days of Yoga

    I have 30 days until my 30th birthday. I’ve set out to reset during these next 30 days with my main intention of feeling the best I ever have as I blow out the candles and make a wish into my 30th year.  My main idea was to do 30 minutes of yoga, for 30…

  • I’m committing to loving myself so my daughter learns to love herself.

    I’m committing to loving myself so my daughter learns to love herself.

    I posted this picture on instagram the other day with the caption below: I was so hesitant to post this picture. I didn’t like the way my body looked- my arm, my belly, and legs. After having James I vowed to try to never speak poorly of my body again- especially in front of her.…

  • My Togetherness Is A Fraud

    My Togetherness Is A Fraud

    I’ve had a few people ask me recently, “how do you do it all?”. I should feel flattered, but if I’m honest, I feel like a fraud. Do what all? In my mind, I’m barely keeping it together and only wish I could do more.  Taking a step back and giving myself some credit, because…

  • I wish someone warned me about the overstimulation that comes with motherhood.

    I wish someone warned me about the overstimulation that comes with motherhood.

    You hear about the roller coaster of emotions that come with each phase of motherhood. The sleepless nights, baby’s first smile, the anxiety around feeding (no matter how you choose to feed).  The list goes on.  I experienced so many firsts at the same time as my baby; it’s as if I also experienced a…

  • The Power of Breath

    The Power of Breath

    In yoga teacher training we focused on anatomy quite a bit and a big part of every conversation was around breath. It’s funny to think we could spend so much time discussing something that we don’t even think about doing, especially when do it constantly. However, I’ve learned that our breath is our compass for…

  • Endometriosis

    Endometriosis

    Endometriosis. Something that is finally being talked about in our society, but still not enough. Most people aren’t familiar with this chronic illness even though it affects at least 1 in 10 females. We live in an environment where speaking out about female health issues is uncomfortable, awkward, and honestly feels shameful. It took me…
