Finding work/life balance as a new mom

Our little one arrived at the end of August and while there is so much good to say about maternity leaves, I’ve always known that taking time off wasn’t part of my path.

becoming a Business Owner - 12 things I wish I knew

Four years ago I left my social work job to become a full-time entrepreneur. Though many cautioned against that decision, I knew it was what I needed to do. It was a heart pull; a pull that has led me to the most fulfilling work and lifestyle. However, the journey to get here wasn’t always easy and I know many people who read my blog are in the early stages of starting their own businesses or have businesses they are ready to grow, so I felt it would be helpful to share a few things that I wish I knew.

on growing your worth & moving through sabotage wounds

In Gemini season I wrote was about finding expanders. In Cancer season it was about the mother wound. And now in Leo season I feel pulled to write about self-worth, a topic coming up for me a lot lately as I’ve been preparing my nervous system for the Empaths in Business rebrand happening this fall — a shift that’s seeing me through many moments of doubt and old patterns of self-sabotage.
