I'm a PhD scientist and was career driven before I became a mom. As a high-achiever, success was important to me and I lived a life of work hard and play hard.
When I stepped into the beautiful chaos of motherhood, I found myself wanting to be the best mom I could be. I poured all my time and energy into nurturing everyone else, without putting the same care towards myself. I thought this sacrifice was just part of the "job."
I stopped prioritizing the things that made me ME.
As a goal-oriented woman, this identity shift and career transition left me disoriented, aimless, and I just didn't feel like myself anymore. I was busy with tasks that didn't light me up. I missed intellectual stimulation and adult conversation.
I longed to achieve, to be seen, and to grow. For a while, I told myself, "There'll be time for that later." But deep down, I knew I needed to reclaim my sense of direction.
I’m so glad you’re here! Let me share a little bit of my journey with you.
Hello, Amazing Mom,
Here's a confession: I actively avoid shopping malls. I prefer small stores (or online shopping) where I can get what I need quickly and efficiently.
On mornings when the weather is warm, you'll find me in my garden sipping on my morning brew. It's a gentle way to awaken my senses (literally and figuratively)!
As an avid fan of "The Amazing Race," I dream of one day competing as a mother & son team. The thought of us crossing the globe makes my heart smile. I hope there’s a zip line challenge!
Now, I'm not just "Mom." I'm a mom who consults, works from home, runs a business, homeschools, podcasts, gardens, and even makes time for running (the exercise kind and the chasing-kids kind)!
If you've ever felt lost in the whirlwind of motherhood—struggling with how to make time for yourself as a mom while giving your best to your family—I see you. And I'm here to help you find clarity and purpose in mom life and achieve a life you love and excel at.

Nurture our children’s nurturers.
Moms are leaders, teachers, supporters, guides, and nurturers for the next generation.
I believe Moms can continue to fill these important societal roles while retaining their own identity, personal life goals, and mental health. It's time to nurture the skills, interests, and passions of our nurturers.
Moms that live their fullest selves are the models for our Children to reach their fullest potential.
I envision a world where life crafting is a routine part of motherhood.
