After years of getting it wrong, this serial mompreneur and podcast host is here to tell you a key lesson in the life of a busy woman: You will be way more effective, successful, and satisfied in life if you take moments of transition (like the end of one year, before moving into the next), to pause and reflect before jumping on board the plane of planning, setting resolutions, and goals, and launching off into the sunrise without checking your past-history fuel tanks – because let’s face it, you’re not jetting off anywhere with empty tanks.

This year, go a little further than the standard “sweater” gift and get them something that will shout from the rooftops that you care. Maybe get a few things – because, let’s be honest, the mom in your life will LOVE a care package that screams, it’s all about me!

While the amazing mom in your life has been juggling 50 things while also planning for the holidays and gifting others, we’ve been busy little elves crafting the ultimate holiday gift guide for the mom in your life.

Here’s the deal. I can’t give you a magic pill to achieve your goals. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I have a secret formula to success or that you’re even necessarily on the right track. What I will tell you is that I’ve tried and failed at many things in life, from relationships to businesses. I’ve also tried and succeeded in just as many adventures. Along the way, I’ve learned a few things about staying committed to goals in life and in business as a woman and a mother. Are you ready? Let’s dig in.

Turning forty-three is exciting for me, and I'll tell you why. So, if you found this post by accident, or if you're entering your mid-forties as a woman and feel ready to own this decade, let's talk about how you can redefine your mindset and embrace your 40s with confidence and self-awareness so you can thrive!

If you’re dying to escape the professional trap you find yourself in. If you have a business idea that you are itching to start. Or, you just want more flexibility with your family, I’m excited to share some of what I’ve learned as a woman business owner, and mompreneur with over ten years of experience starting businesses, failing at businesses, and getting back up to try again.

Whether you have already entered the back-to-school madness or are just about to open that door, here are my essential tips for getting through (most of it) with a smile and a little bit more sanity.

Feeling bogged down—whether it's steering through career decisions, balancing family life, or just trying to remember what fun looks like without a screen—can seem daunting. But fear not, I have some strategies that might just help us not only survive but maybe even thrive during these times:

I like to think of my little family as a pod of adventure and thrill-seekers – and we are! Our kids love going on the next adventure, and yes, we do go on a ton of camping trips and road trips. But let's be honest, calling it an "adventure" sometimes just means nobody threw up in the car seat. Read my tips for road tripping with kids.

This past month was all about the adventure of summer, new places, people, and things we fell in love with—and big surprise… I want to share it with you!

It’s always struck me as odd that there’s a cultural expectation that people will find the career they want by the time they are eighteen years old and will stay in that profession for their whole working life!

I mean, if you look at your other choices and changes throughout life, it’s kind of silly, right?

If you're considering a new business or career, this post is for you! I’m here to inspire you with the top business ideas for women in 2024.

Follow along as we post a new prompt from Womanhood Unwrapped here and on our Instagram for the next twelve days leading up to Christmas day.

Over the eleven years I’ve been a parent, and yes, to all of you grown-and-flown moms out there, I’m sure you’re thinking, “Oh, honey, you have no idea yet!” All the same, over this decade plus, I’ve learned (often the hard way 🥴) a number of valuable lessons about parenting two very unique little humans.

Whether you’re a new mom of two, a mommy to more than two, or are going through a tough time with parenting your kiddos, I hope this list helps bring you some peace, insight, and a laugh or two (no pun intended 🤪).

I wasn’t always a conscious, gentle parent. I was raised by a single mom with three kids under the age of 7. My childhood was marked by her struggles, her pain, and the harsh parenting techniques she inherited from her retired military stepfather’s overpowering, colossal presence. Here’s how I healed and began to parent in a conscious and loving way.

Mothers in today's society, at least in the United States, are expected to be there for their children's every need. They also ought to work for personal or financial reasons and take care of all household needs. Of course, there are the outliers. The mom's who work and have a partner at home take care of the family's day-to-day concerns. But in general, women now are expected to take care of everyone and everything but themselves. It's the #Momlife expectation that's, in fact, grinding us all to the bone. And that unrealistic expectation is causing severe burnout and depression across the board.
