Notable Quotes:
"I think it's just really for me trying to figure out how to be as organized and intentional as I can. So I'm kinda working through that now. Scheduling my day out. Scheduling it down to the minute."
"I think that women in general, most women, I'm not saying all, and I'm not saying dads aren't present, but I'm just saying that moms feel this pressure to take care of the household in this in the sense of taking care of everybody, loving on everybody, making sure everybody's got what they need."
“It just kind of explains and shows people I think that no matter where you're at in life and what's going on, you're capable of stuff if you just wanna do it.”
“I'm busting my ass to pay these people to take care of my kids. And then I don't get to spend time with my kids. And I'm like, it's similar to somebody saying, okay, I'm gonna have a baby. And then now I have to go work to pay for daycare. And I'm barely making enough to cover day care. And it's like, well, what are you doing? It's a vicious cycle.”
“Just reminding yourself that if you're in a specific phase or period in your life where in order to be successful, something else has to give, and if that thing is more to sacrifice time with your family in order to be successful because of where your kids are at or where your family's at, that maybe just realizing for now may not be the time. For me in my mind, I think, okay, Right now, my kids are 3 and 5. And I know once they start school, the busy will shift to a different kind of busy and maybe it'll be easier to put a little bit more into work. But I think if you can just kind of realize that it's not gonna be that way forever you can find what keeps you balanced and fulfilled, that’s the trick.”
