Motherhood has always been my first calling. Before the business. Before the long nights. Before any dream I’ve ever chased.
There was a season of my life where I was running on almost nothing but faith, determination, and love for these three kids.
I would wake up at 4:30 every morning to go to my full-time job, come home and immediately step into “mom mode” : practices, homework, dinner, baths, cleaning, bedtime routines… all the things moms quietly carry every single day. Then once the house was finally quiet, I’d stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning building my business from the ground up.
And then I’d wake up and do it all over again.
For about 6 solid months, that was my life.
As exhausting as that season was, I can honestly say it shaped me into who I am today. Oddly enough, COVID ended up being a blessing in disguise for our family. If my hours at work hadn’t been cut back, I don’t know if I ever would’ve had the courage to fully bet on myself and pursue my business the way I did. For the first time, I was able to pour real time and energy into something of my own… and it flourished.
Even now, almost 8 years later, balancing motherhood, business, marriage, life, and everything in between is still hard. I still don’t always make time for myself. I still question if I’m doing enough. But when I look at these three … watching them grow into kind, hardworking, talented humans … I know every sleepless night, every sacrifice, every stressful moment was worth it.
More than any title I’ll ever have, being their mom will always be the greatest one.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there doing their absolute best, even when nobody sees the weight they carry behind the scenes. 🤍
