What’s your ‘day job’?

Financial Planner

What is something that makes your life easier/better/more fun?

Organization is a must for me. Since I am a working mother during the day out of the home, It makes life easier and more fun to have a Nanny or someone that can help organize my home and work life balance with whatever it entails. Having the support system in place allows me to spend quality time with my children and not worry about the daily grind of chores etc… that need to get done.
I also now take time for myself and use that time to reflect. I do this on a weekly basis for no less than 2 hours. It has been really nice.How do you balance your ‘day job’ and motherhood?

HA is there a magic answer?!! I would say the above was a game changer for me. Hiring a full time person at my office and at home to alleviate the things that didn’t need my undivided attention at all times. They are my checks and balances.

Who inspires you and why?

I have numerous people who inspire me. It is hard to pick one. My parent’s inspire me the most.

What do you do for self care?

Exercise and Running is my number one self care resolution for everything but I also do …..toes, Nails, Hair, facials, lashes,

What did you wish you knew but no one told you about being a parent?

It’s the little things that make the biggest impact. The experiences and moments in time that you share big or small that will make an everlasting memories in your life. Don’t take these moments for granted.
