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.

The fantastic thing about finding and establishing relationships with women who can mentor you is that these guardian angels or fairy godmothers are not just career guides; they’re also life coaches, your most passionate cheerleaders, and the supportive besties you need. And, here’s the best part: the unrealized mentors in your life are already at your fingertips. You just have to tap into your desire to be mentored and your willingness to be humble enough to seek out the right one.

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!

Over my many years of experience testing, failing, launching and relaunching my business ideas, I’ve found that there are some key elements to finding success with your growing business. Equip yourself with these strategies, designed to guide you through the bustling marketplace and help you serve up a feast of actualization.

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.

Let's get real for a moment. Being a woman in business isn't all power suits and corner offices (though, let's be honest, a good blazer never hurt anyone).

When I started my first business, I had no idea what I was doing (I still don't half the time!). Because of that, I learned a lot of hard lessons and did things wrong in various ways.

Business ownership is a journey—a rollercoaster filled with highs that make you feel invincible and lows that have you questioning your life choices over a pint of ice cream at 3 AM. But fear not—every twist and turn on this wild ride comes with a lesson or two, and I'm here to spill the tea. Buckle up, boss babes; this one's for you.

Chances are, if you’re a working mom like me, you're also deep in the trenches of mom chaos, which ranges from organized disarray to full-blown apocalypse. So, before you ask how this post will help you navigate the madness, let me assure you, I've found some ways to keep my life from unraveling faster than a cheap sweater.

Our mental well-being influences how we think, feel, and behave in daily life. It affects our ability to cope with stress, overcome challenges, build relationships, and recover from life's setbacks and hardships. Just like physical health, mental health requires regular maintenance and care. I had to learn this the hard way, but taking care of your mind can be smoothly integrated into your life if you try.

Let's explore practical steps to nurturing your mind, including mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and strategies for fostering a positive mindset.

I’m getting so excited for summer, camping, traveling, and spending time with my kiddos away from the hustle of the school year.

So, in anticipation of the summer fun to come, here’s your Womanhood Unwrapped monthly lifestyle wrap-up for May 2024.

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.

The real question is, how do you successfully change careers after forty as a woman?

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that it will be easy or that you’re guaranteed to change your career and love it. But if you don’t try, will you ever really know?

Here are seven critical steps to take if you’re considering a career change.

You, like everyone else, hate to be disliked. But there are times when, suddenly, you wonder how this could possibly happen when all you’ve ever been is nice to Karen. Am I right?

This is what you could call the “dislikability conundrum.”

You do everything right, and still, some people are just not going to like you. You are going to encounter this no matter what throughout your life, so what should you do? Read more.

It’s that time of year again. That’s right. The time of year when it seems like you should have everything in place: your personal vision board, your business plan, and your New Year’s resolutions. Here’s your simple 30-day plan to get yourself in gear.

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.

So here I am, cozying up with a warm beverage and starting my annual wrap-up. Here’s what I loved and learned this year. I hope it provides you with some inspiration for your own reflection.
