As seen on, and written for Quotable Media CO, a company who supports female entrepreneurs. It’s 2am, my youngest of 3 has just woken up with a bad dream, and now I lie awake trying to go back to sleep. My head is spinning with the 73 things on my to-do list today and my heart is already racing thinking about trying to get it all done. The dreadful sense of “there just aren’t enough hours in the day” consumes me. My anxiety levels are already high as I begin my day. My alarm

As seen on, and written for Laddrr, a company on a mission to help working mothers. Have you found yourself in the “default parenting” role without even realizing how you got there? And by default parenting, I mean that you’re the one who does the lion’s share of the day-to-day work to run your household — managing the kids’ schedules and all the accompanying text chains, making sure your pantry is stocked with food and thinking through meals for the week, getting all the lau

The Importance of Creating Healthy Habits At A Young Age

It is never to late to start good habits with your children! Research shows that children develop habits (both good and bad) by the age of nine. As parents, the earlier we start instilling healthy habits the more likely they will stick around into adulthood. Being a parent is A LOT of work and time seems to run out after cooking meals, household chores, sport practices, and work schedules.

5 Tips For Healthy Social Media Use

With all the recent headlines around social media use and it being linked to depression and anxiety in our kids (and likely in the uptick we are seeing in adults as well), I started delving into the research and some of the statistics I'm reading are ASTOUNDING. According to data published in April 2021 by Pew Research Center, 84 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds are active on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or another social media site.

While we created lots of special family memories over the holiday vacationing in the snow, I had the realization towards the end of the break that I was running on fumes, and feeling physically and emotionally burned out, which is also known as "mom burnout." I found myself feeling

What Is The Most Undervalued Wellness Strategy?

It's seems SO simple on the surface, but sometimes saying this ONE short word can be SO hard for people to put into practice.....especially for women. What is it you ask........? Learning to say NO! Most toddlers have no problem putting together those two letters and stating it loud and clear.....so why as grown adults do we have such a hard time saying NO to our family, our friends, our colleagues and especially our bosses?
