Work-life balance. Mom-life balance. Call it whatever you want, but let’s be honest: most days it feels like an impossible goal. And it is!
Here’s what it really looks like... unedited, unfiltered, and no sugarcoating.
I didn’t feel like a good employee. I didn’t feel like a good partner. And I definitely didn’t feel like a good mom. (Even though, in hindsight, I wasn’t giving myself nearly enough credit.)
From the outside, it probably looked like I had it all together. I got so many comments celebrating the water I was drowning in. I was “Supermom” holding down a job, a household, and a happy baby. But inside? It felt like I was spinning plates on a moving treadmill.
Work-life balance when you’re a work-from-home, stay-at-home mom of littles can feel like a cruel joke. Can it really be done? The truth is, life looks wildly different when your work and your life happen under the same roof... with a toddler climbing on it.
