From Overwhelmed Mom to Empowered Entrepreneur - My Journey to Freedom! Fresh off unpaid maternity leave and still navigating postpartum, I found myself right back at my desk, back on the phones, drained in every sense of the word. All my PTO was gone, and the only thing I could think about was my brand-new baby. I was so distracted, so heartbroken, and if I’m being honest, almost jealous of the daycare lady. She got to spend the days with him, watching all the little “firsts” that I so desperately wanted to see. 💔 I was five years into what was supposed to be my “forever” career, having worked my way up the corporate ladder step by step. I had put in the late nights, the long hours, the hard work. Day in and day out, I was helping other people solve their problems—yet here I was, unable to figure out my own. How could my priorities shift so drastically after having a baby? How could there be unpaid maternity leave? How could there be so little empathy for new mothers in the corporate world? And how did people stay in the same career for 40+ years, trading their time for a measly two weeks of vacation each year? Was it just me? 🤷‍♀️ For a while, I thought it was. Maybe I was too idealistic about how life should be. Maybe I was too nervous to try something new, too afraid of the digital world, too out of touch with what I really wanted. I felt like I’d been living with my head in the clouds. These thoughts kept running through my mind… Then came September 27—a date I’ll never forget. My child was sick for what felt like the hundredth time, and I was desperate to be there for him. I begged my boss to let me work from home, so I could be by his side. I prayed for empathy, for understanding—just this once. Instead, I got a cold, hard “No. You can only use PTO.” So I did. That morning, as I walked out of the office, I felt something snap. I couldn’t keep living like this, letting someone else dictate when I could be there for my own child. I couldn’t keep sacrificing my family time, my sanity, my health for a job that didn’t even see me as a whole person, just another worker in a cubicle. Three hours a night with my family wasn’t enough. Living for the weekends wasn’t enough. Trying to cram in all the family time, errands, and housework in two short days wasn’t enough. Does any of this sound familiar? Something in me just knew that there was a way to have the best of both worlds… I just hadn’t found it yet! What I found opened my eyes to a whole new world! In this world, I was able to be the version of a working mother I pictured in my mind everyday as I headed back to my 9-5 with just an ache in my heart. The mom that was able to be with her child as much as possible without sacrificing, her hard earned PTO or therefore lack of since I had to give it all away from maternity leave 😢 The mom that was able to build generational wealth for her family and invest in not only her future, but theirs as well. Sounds too good to be true right? I thought so at first too! I mean, how many things can one explore in this onLine space before throwing in the towel 🫠 But I knew the life that I wanted so desperately, the life I dreamed about and envisioned for my family wasn’t going to be behind the computer screen stuck in a 4 x 4 cubicle. So I took strides to a different career… One where I could show up, put in the hours in the cracks of my own day and build my business around my busy life . Plus the system I work with provides: – One on one coaching – Step-by-step trainings – A community to back me each step of the way – Automation – Vetted items to partner with I’m also able to witness skills developing in myself that I have never experienced before which is super cool to continue to grow in a new skill set that I can take anywhere with me in the future. Learning how to use the power of social media 📱 to my advantage and connect with a wide range of women who are trying to accomplish similar goals as Me has been a game changer. It’s almost like having your own personal cheer cheerleading team! Having something at our fingertips that we can truly grasp and work towards as working mothers is incredibly important for our busy lives! I feel obligated to share with all my fellow working mamas out there who are just trying to get off what feels like the never-ending hamster wheel … I’m talking about the moms who give it all to their j.o.b.s. Every day and then comes home and gives whatever they have left in them to their families. (Seems a bit backwards, doesn’t it)? 🥴 We shouldn’t be running on empty at the end of the day to the people who mean the most to us! Using this formula and step-by-step blueprint, I have finally found another way of being the mom that my child and family deserve well also providing towards our futures . Right now, I am offering a no-cost online training that walks through the same formula many other mamas have used to becoming a fully present parent again!
