What’s the greatest lesson you’ve learned in being a mom? 

Patience and trust. There is no “right” way to be a mother and children will ultimately figure things out in their own time, in their own style. I’ve learned not to compare myself or my children to others, we are all unique individuals and comparing can be detrimental to self esteem.

What does work life balance look like for you?

It’s a constant juggling act, I wear many hats and I love them all. Being a mom is always my first priority but I know that I need to take care of myself so I can take care of my family and my business. For me that means making sure I take time to exercise (because movement is my medicine), sleep enough, eat well and make sure my relationships are in order. In a day I may drop off at school, teach or take yoga, take a power nap, meet with clients, drive to practices, make dinner, and then conk out. Some days are busier than others but I know that if I don’t make time for self care I won’t have the energy for my busy schedule.

What is your favorite quality about your mom?

My favorite qualities about my mom are her strength and confidence. She is not afraid of what people think and does what she wants regardless of other’s opinions. 

What is the best lesson you've learned from your mom?

The best lesson I’ve learned from my mom is to believe in myself and know that I can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it.
