As a mompreneur and woman business owner, it's critical to not only show up for the important stuff—your team, your clients, and your network—but also prioritize rest and restoration so that you don't burn the Christmas candle at both ends until it burns out. That sounds like an impossible goal at this time of year. Am I right? 

Here's the thing: you can indeed have it all! The holiday spirit and fun, along with managing holiday expectations and planning. Here's how!

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.

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.

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.
