I created this space out of need.

When I became a mother, I didn’t lose myself—I found another part of me. Lucky? Blessed? All the above. Some of us welcome motherhood and become challengers to the norm. We don’t embrace what society has pushed on us that we simply cannot do both. We can. Family and career can coexist.

I stand with the women who are tired of being told how they should feel, what they should do, or who they should become once they have kids.

We are so much more.

We can work a demanding job, we respond in the group chat, we help aging parents navigate our messed up health system, we cook dinner and do bedtime. Sure we may be tired sometimes, lost sometimes, but we come back, we show up, we do it again and we celebrate it.

I’m a daughter, sister, wife, friend, leader, colleague, fitness fanatic, and world traveler. And…

I’m mama too.
