It’s been a minute. I had all kinds of hopes and dreams for this space in 2020. And well, you know. 🦠 Recently however I’ve felt a pull to re-engage and reconnect. So I logged on earlier this week and just couldn’t help but laugh at the tagline I chose for this site:

I lead working women with practical tools and actionable ideas so they can crush it in business, family and life.

Please raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ if you feel like you’ve been more “crushed” than “crushing it” these past few months. I know I’m not the only driven, goal oriented, motivated mama that has at best felt lost and foggy brained and at worst been fighting against depression and anxiety. I’m sure I’m not the only one that doesn’t entirely recognize herself any more and has questioned who am I and where have I “gone”?

We shouldn’t be surprised by any of this. Life has been upended. Between closing and re-opening businesses, learning one million new platforms for distance learning, trying to stay on top of the changing science and health recommendations and cooking every. single. meal. for. all. the. people. we have completely changed all of our rhythms and routines. Even if you’re not a “routine” type person, your lack-of-routine has changed. Now we’re looking into the Fall + Winter months wondering not if it will hit but how bad is wave 3 going to be?

I don’t know who needs to hear this today but…oh wait yes I do…it’s every single one of us:

There is grace for this season.

Many in our communities have literally been in survival mode with their physical health. But all of us have been fighting for survival in some form whether for our careers, hopes, dreams, mental health, livelihoods, etc. There is grace for your foggy brain, your lack of motivation, your mistakes. There is grace for remote learning, maxed out internet bandwidth, and frozen pizza for dinner…again. There is grace for not one of your 2020 goals being met. There is grace for pivoting your business.

As I work toward re-engaging in this space, my goal is to create content that brings value to your life. Your new normal. Our new normal. Whatever that evolves to be. I hope you’ll come along on the journey with me as we slowly inch our way out of survival mode and back into crushing it in business, family and life.
