🥱 The Real Reason You’re Still Exhausted (Even When You “Rest”)

Why You’re Still Drained, Even After “Resting” You finally get a break. The kids are at Grandma’s. Your calendar is quiet. You even get to sit down. But somehow… you’re still exhausted. Sound familiar? Here’s the truth no one talks about: Rest isn’t just about sleep or downtime—it’s about emotional recovery. And for working parents? Emotional depletion runs deep.

The Energizer Bunny doing a mic drop gif

💪 Hustle culture is lying to you. Here’s the truth.

Why Hustle Culture is a Trap for Parents More hours, more work, more stress—why are we still buying into this? You’ve heard it before: “You just have to want it more. Work harder. Sleep less.” But here’s the thing—hustle culture wasn’t built for working parents. And it’s burning you out… you’re not the Energizer Bunny. You need an off switch from time to time. Somehow, you’ve been sold the idea that productivity equals worth. That success demands sacrifice. That if you’re tired, stretched too...

But here’s the thing: change is possible. That’s exactly why I created the Path to...

Behind-the-Scenes: My Hardest Week as a Working Parent

I’m Not Perfect—And That’s Okay. I remember this one week that nearly broke me. My husband was on a work trip, leaving me solo with our two girls—and the schedule was brutal. Swim and track practice on the same nights. Girl Scouts on other nights. Homework, dinner, and a full-time job in between. And then the chaos really kicked in. My 10-year-old’s hormones were in overdrive, my 9-year-old’s ADHD was nonstop, and they were constantly fighting. As if that wasn’t enough, I got a call from the...

The Great Time Lie: Why "You Have the Same 24 Hours" is a Myth

The Great Time Lie: Why "You Have the Same 24 Hours as Everyone Else" is a Myth We’ve all heard it before: “You have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé.” Sounds motivating, right? But let’s be real—Beyoncé has a team of people managing her schedule, handling daily responsibilities, and freeing her up to focus on what matters most. You? You might be juggling work deadlines, school drop-offs, meal planning, and about a hundred other things. The truth is, we don’t all have the same 24 hours. Our...

Stop Apologizing for Career Ambition—Own Your Path

Stop Apologizing for Career Ambition—Own Your Path Let’s talk about guilt—the sneaky, ever-present feeling that whispers, You should be doing more. You should be doing it better.

😏 Why Overworking Isn’t Love: Rethinking Sacrifice

You work hard because you love your kids. You want to give them the best—nice clothes, activities, vacations, all the things they get excited about. But let’s be real: do they really need more stuff, or do they just need more of you? This weekend, my husband was out of town for work, so it was just me and the girls. I could have used the time to catch up on emails or tackle my never-ending to-do list. But instead, I chose to be with them. Friday night, I surprised them with tickets to a...
