Why 'career vs. kids' is a lie

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

For years, I thought I only had two choices:

  • Stay in my job for the steady paycheck — but miss out on time with my kids.
  • Or quit to be there for them — and lose financial security my family depends on.

Sound familiar?

I call this the false choice.

Because the truth is, you don’t have to choose between career or kids.

Here’s what I did instead:

  • I carved out just 1 focused hour a day in the margins of mom-life.
  • I stopped waiting for the 'perfect time' or 3-hour blocks that never come.
  • I built my business around my life — not the other way around.

It wasn’t neat. It was messy. Full of mistakes and doubts.
But it worked — I signed my first client while still working full-time and raising two kids.

That’s what I call the third way.
And if I can do it, so can you.

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on: Doubt: Will this even work? Lack: What if I can’t make enough money? Judgment: What will people think of me? I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took.

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...
