The working mom and business owner's life is hard! Managing your family, work and your dreams is not easy at all. It can be exhausting, discouraging, and sometimes lonely. However, the reward is often worth the sacrifice. When you get into a rhythm and find a way to feel fulfilled and content not only as a mother but a woman also; that is a phenomenal feeling.
However, you can't build your dream off of someone else's blueprint. You have to find what works for you in life and go for it.

There is this belief that in order to be productive, you have to constantly be in the act of doing something. That is completely false. Rest is productive and sometimes the most productive thing taking the time to rest is the most productive thing you can do in a day.
In this episode, I share:
- How to handle the expectation of "normal" in an abnormal time
- The power in the pause
- How resting contributes to your productivity
- Why productivity does not always mean doing
Moms, we are living in a unique time. Stop expecting normalcy and start living in the moment and doing what you need to make it through this time.
