If you’re reading this, hoping to gain some insight into your hopes and dreams for your son or son’s futures, I endeavor to give you the following:

• A glimpse into how this modern working mom (me!) is trying to raise my son

• Camaraderie in the son-parenting journey

• Solace in the knowledge that we’re all doing the best we can

• A community of like-minded parents hoping for better for their sons in this complicated world

What do I wish for my son? So many things, but here are the ones I pray for the most.

The biggest lesson that motherhood has taught me is to give more grace. I have learned to let go of this idea that I’m going to be a perfect mother. I’m going to make mistakes. I’m going to fail. Really great things happen when I can forgive myself for that, or ask for my kids’ forgiveness when I need to. I actually get the opportunity to show my kids how to fail and make mistakes and learn from them. Read the full story.

The reality was, I couldn't. I was too overwhelmed, too overworked, too overscheduled. I had become responsible for too much. There was literally no way I was going to be able to do it all. So like a frozen yogurt of responsibility, the tasks, and events, and commitments kept swirling around and around me until I was totally covered by soft-serve, sticky bullshit. This was when I learned one of the most valuable lessons of my life: You can do anything you want, but be careful what you ask for...so let's start there, shall we? Read the blog on the biggest lessons I’ve learned from life mistakes.

For International Women’s Day, and Women’s History Month, instead of recapping, or analyzing, or storybooking the past, I decided to talk to some incredibly wonderful and independent women I know now for this post. I also included some of my own comments too -- for good measure 😍.

What first drew me to the Caden sisters. Sisterpeneurs and founders of Belly Bandit and Proof created two mission-based companies. Their mission: to design garments and underwear for women tired of feeling insecure after giving birth, wanting to be confident in the face of unexpected leaks, and needing to feel good about their bodies. Both companies were the product (no pun intended) of real-life challenges!

Jodi, Cari, and Lori are breaking barriers that often hold women hostage and doing it together!

To change our perceptions of women, who they should be, and how they should express themselves, we first must understand why it's so damaging to tell people to be 'less emotional.' We women cannot advance the archaic, sexist institutional behaviors that lay like a layer of ice over our emotionally numb hearts without re-finding our emotions, our instincts, and our power through sensitive thoughts and actions!

2020 was a year of chaotic change, and 2021 will be the year of intentional transition. Things will continue changing for us on a local, national, and global scale, and it's up to all of us to be open and ready for those transitions. I am taking that mentality to heart both personally and professionally, which I believe deeply will be the key to success for this coming year and years to come.

It's all fine and well to want to approach the holidays this year the way you feel is best but does 'your way' honor those with whom you want to celebrate? One of the biggest lessons I've learned in 2020 is that almost everyone I know has a different feeling about what's safe and a different approach to life right now. Read more about managing the stress of the holidays during this unusual time, with Coronavirus restrictions.

I'm the first to overthink things. I'm the first to run through all the scenarios, possible pitfalls, and potential positive or negative outcomes. But as a woman, who's also a mother, wife, and serial entrepreneur, I had to learn early in the launch of my first business, a super challenging lesson. It’s all about perfectionism, and when to let go. Read more on the blog.

I'm a 39-year-old woman. I'm flawed. I don't love everyone and everything, and not everyone loves me. I am getting wrinkles, and I refuse to give up wine -- even though it might make me skinnier. I am working on loving myself and living the life that makes me content. I am a work in progress. And I'm cool with that. Read more on the Entreprenista Mama blog.

I had my daughter in 2016 and realized there were not many swimwear options that were both premium quality and eco-conscious. I wanted to create a brand that had the colors, prints, and style of something I would wear but made for my kids. That’s how the brand was born! Saint Maddox also focuses on sustainability by using recycled fabrics and trims, in addition to only producing domestically, which helps our planet.

There is no right way to support women. There is no right way to be a mother. There is no right way to be a feminist. And suppose we, as women, really want to affect continual and lasting change for our daughters and their daughters. In that case, we may need to start supporting each other for real instead of one-upping and putting other women down to raise ourselves up. Read more about modern feminism and how women can support women.

Join me for my first ever video interview with the incredible Amy Turner, creator of the Courage Integration Model, and founder of The Courage Tribe, as we talk about being a leader in the COVID era, thriving as a working mom, navigating divorce, social activism and so much more. 🙌It was such a great conversation, we heart still lights up thinking about it. 💜

Here’s how I’ve learned to manage anxiety as a mom. If you suffer from anxiety and have not sought help yet, I sincerely hope you will begin with that step. But either way, I hope my experience and the following ideas help bring a glimmer of hope to your life or someone else's that may need to read this.

I continuously lived in fear when I was growing up. Fear that we would not be accepted. Fear that we would be unjustly targeted by the police. Fear that we would be shunned by our community. I did not live in fear of losing my life. At the end of the day, I am white, and in this country that's the difference between life and death.
