POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some moments make you stop and appreciate the people who have been part of your story. Yesterday was one of them.

I’m incredibly grateful to @power_philadelphia for recognizing me with the Entrepreneur Champion of Change Award.

A special thank you to Molly Shepard for the nomination and for seeing something in my work worthy of this recognition.

And to the wonderful women who took time out of their busy lives to be there with me, you have no idea how much that meant. Seeing your faces in the room was one of the best parts of the day.

I’m in a new chapter of my career, one that’s challenging me in ways I didn’t expect and reminding me just how much possibility there is in trying something new. The work may look different these days, but what matters most to me hasn’t changed: using what I’ve learned and experienced to make a difference in someone else’s life.

To be recognized for that work, especially at this stage of my journey, means a great deal.

Thank you for being part of it. #womensupportingwomen #keynotespeaker #connections #resilience #community

Spent 3 days in #Paris with an awesome girlfriend and also a version of myself I hadn’t seen in a while.

She was relaxed, well-dressed, and - dare I say - a damn good time. I really missed her.

In the hustle and bustle of getting married, surviving global pandemic (NBD), managing a busy career, and having two kids, I don’t remember the last time I went away “just because”, and it was an exhale I needed.

No one asking for snacks!
No laptop! (BLESSED)
No schedule!

Truly heaven with a side of good French wine. 🍷 🇫🇷

I am back to my BAU life now which is fabulous too - but I am vowing to visit old me again way sooner. 🥂

Always recommend a “yes” to an impromptu cocktail with a girlfriend. 🥂 👩🏻‍🐰‍👩🏼🩷

Bonus points if it includes #Paris, @toureiffelofficielle, & @celinedion.

Trip of a LIFETIME! ✅

Floating on a jet-lagged, girl power cloud until further notice. 💤 🔥😘

And we’re moms so you know we love to sleep. 💤

My @whoop says I got a cool 3.5 hours last night, but c’est la vie.

No time for rest in #Paris with 3 days, so much to see, & beauty literally smacking you in the face from all angles. It is overwhelmingly chic, charming, & all the rest.

Needless to say, @celinedion was a highlight of the trip (and my entire life?!), but there were so many good moments. I could talk about this trip FOREVER.

Merci, Paris! 🇫🇷 🧀 🥂

I will be back very soon. 🩷

Just casually living like Parisians to pay homage to Queen @celinedion & ourselves.

Not sure I’ll ever get over this trip, and it’s still happening.

C’est la vie, babe.🇫🇷🧀 🥂

Making friends as an adult is tricky. Making “mom friends” is even trickier.

This is obvious, but just because you are a mom doesn’t mean that you are going to connect with every other mom. And that’s why, for me, it’s even more magical when I meet another mom who I really align with.

When I started hosting Work. Life. Motherhood events, I met McKenna, and it was clear we were kindred spirits. When we discovered a mutual love of @celinedion, we joked about how we should go to Paris to see her in concert…and then we got tickets to do the damn thing.

I went back through our texts and found this one which just says it all. She asked if we should buy tickets, and my response was a millennial-coded “YOLO.” That is modern mom friendship for real.

If you didn’t know, there’s a phenomenon with flamingos 🦩 where they lose their pink color as they are giving nutrients and support to their young babies. As their chicks get more independent, their pink color comes back. I see this trip as a biiiiiiig streak of pink for me. 🩷

We leave next week, and I could not be more excited and thankful to be able to do this with my girl @molsonyoung. 👩🏻‍🐰‍👩🏼

Follow along for cool mom vibes, diva behavior (for Celine obvi), epic outfits & a whole lotta friendship.

This week, I was invited into two rooms that made me think, “Whoa. I feel seen.” & “Whoa. No one has this working mom thing totally figured out.” which was the entire reason I started this project.

I have been reflecting on the journey of Work. Life. Motherhood which started as a nugget of an idea over coffee with my friend @wildflowerrcollective & came to life with the support of people like @honestcravings who was willing to pour her time and effort and voice into supporting other moms (and me!).

The friendships, learning, community, and perspective I have gained from sharing that idea and giving it a go can’t be overstated. I am in awe of the power of this community.

I am so grateful for the rooms and conversations this idea has brought me into so far, and I hope it’s only the start. 🩷👩🏻‍💻🤷🏻‍♀️

Shout-out to all the gems 💎 who have supported this @anawelshspeaks @theinbetweencoaching @wholehealth_studio @el.brisk @luann_cahn @melindaprevitera @megmalickblog @molsonyoung @cocokidsyoga @akb_moon + so many others

I am *slightly* obsessed with gathering feedback on our events, and while I only share the positive quotes — I read it all (good, bad, & meh) & make pivots and changes based on it.

Largely, the feedback is quotes like these. And they remind me that working moms SO BADLY need support, community, and friendship that sees them authentically. It’s a little big thing, ya know?

That is why we do this!

I hope to see you at an upcoming event & then you can tell me what you think. 🩷

I am wildly proud to have started a growing community of incredible, thoughtful working moms who show up for their work, their kids, and their own JOY! 🤩

Over and over again…

When we come together to share our experiences, we are creating powerful ripples, and last night was basically a tidal wave. 🌊

Each of us has a story to share and wisdom to give. I am in awe of the power of women coming together.

Join us next time! 9/24 and 11/11 dates to be posted soon.

Stories shared. Wisdom collected. Friendships formed. This is what happens at our events.

I am literally blown away every time - by the authenticity, the care, and the energy of this group that just keeps growing & showing up.

So much to say about last night (our 4th!!) but I’ll just start with a mega thank you to our speakers @jessi.sheridan @molsonyoung @cocokidsyoga and to @wildflowerrcollective for being the most magical venue ever.
