3 Hard Things:
1️⃣ My Work Is Never Done
As a Mom, homeschooler and homemaker, the work is cyclical and never quite feels “accomplished”.
As an entrepreneur, that dynamic is multiplied and intensified. There is always unfinished work, and I’m never entirely “out of the office.”
2️⃣ There’s No “Balance”
There is no way to perfect the balance of the scales between mothering and working. I’m always juggling and a ball is always dropping. There will never be enough time and enough of me.
3️⃣ My Brain is Always Tired
The mental load of homemaking and motherhood and homeschooling is immense…
Add in the mental load of the 896,567 aspects of running a business, and a divergent brain that never shuts off….
And you get exhaustion and a caffeine addiction. 🤪
3 Wonderful Things:
1️⃣ I Get to be “More Than a Mom”
I get to pour my creative energy into both mothering and also something entirely my own that exists outside of motherhood and with its own autonomy. I get to utilize my gifts and function within the fullness of my identity in specific ways.
2️⃣ I Get to Impact Others
I will never be anything less than undone by the messages I receive about changed lives, changed hearts, changed homeschools, changed relationships, changed habits, and changed faiths. It is truly an honor and privilege.
3️⃣ My Kids See a Female Model Of Work Ethic, Discipline, Fortitude, Resiliency, Passion, Tenacity, Innovation, and Courage
3 Ways I Make it Work:
1️⃣ I Treat My Business Like a Business
I don’t treat it like a hobby and I don’t just do it “when I have time” (that would be never).
I’m a business owner, and I function like one.
2️⃣ I Require Respect
I unapologetically require anyone in my life, including my children, to honor and respect what I do and the time I spend doing it.
3️⃣ I Am Intentional
I know exactly what I owe both my family and my following, and I intentionally show up to deliver that. I don’t operate in either my home or my business halfheartedly or haphazardly. I have no time for guilt or shame, because I’m imperfectly but intentionally giving all I’ve got to all I’ve committed to.
