On the verge of a breakdown, I sat my husband down to tell him I wasn't ok. I felt as if all of my responsibilities were caving in on me and I simply didn't have the strength to manage them all any more.

In that conversation I realized I was spending most of my time and energy trying to be the mom society was telling me to be while also dealing with my own unrealistically set expectations.

That conversation changed my entire perspective and I chose to stop bearing the responsibility and guilt of the entire family on my own. I chose to start prioritizing my needs and lean on others for help. I removed the term "Super Mom" from my vocabulary and found the space and balance I needed to make one of the biggest transformations in my life.

I chose to say goodbye to my corporate self to pursue a long time passion of mine. This change went against everything I was working towards in my career, but I was unhappy and it was painfully obvious. In the middle of a pandemic with no childcare in sight, I left my full-time job to start my own coaching business and I couldn't have been happier about it!
