Mom guilt.

  Ok so first, I have some BIG news to share!! ...and for me, this is a big deal  🤯😭 ⁣ something I have been on the fence about for a while... ok years... For years I have wrestled with the decision of whether or not to send A to daycare/school or to keep him at home.  I know, I know...you’re probably thinking...but tons of moms and dads send their kids to preschool... So why is this a big deal? Well, for me it’s a big deal because the last few years I had built up the belief in my mind that since I work from home, the thought of sending him to preschool or daycare meant that I failed .  That sending him out of the house meant that I failed to work from home AND be a mom fulltime.  ( **Which for the record.... are BOTH fulltime jobs) Any other moms ever felt this??  Someone please tell me I’m not alone in this crazy “ I have to be able to do it ALL ” pressure that we for some reason put on ourselves.  I mean...after all HE is my ‘why’ and even thoug...

Freely Given vs. Given Freely

Have you ever found yourself in a situation or looking back on one where you may have given freely...of your time, your emotions, or even vulnerability but...it didn't feel that it was freely given? Let me break it down in a different way... ...have you ever poured your heart out to, or gone out of your way for someone, perhaps a crush or a new boyfriend/girlfriend but it felt more like it was given without really earning it?   Now hear me out ... because I am not saying or suggesting that love should be earned...because it shouldn’t be a give-to-get scenario at all... however ...especially in our societal dating culture today...I have found it to be very common that women (including myself) who were created with an infinite amount of love to give, that sometimes we slip into giving our love freely rather than selectively choosing who we should freely give it too.  I recently started working with a coaching program and it has begun some really monumental self study work and...

Goals are hard....but not out of reach. 🥅

𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 is hard. ⁣ 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 motherhood is harder. ⁣ Add being an 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿 & 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿? ⁣ ....Well let’s just say it’s an every changing cocktail of hard 😂⁣ ⁣ - the juggling of dinner, bedtime & housework solo⁣ - the late night client appointments...⁣ - the early morning zoom calls... ⁣ - the daily investing into yourself and personal development...⁣ - the responding to messages while you’re making dinner, standing in line at the store, running baths...or in the bathroom yourself 🚽 (cause lets be real...as moms we take quiet time whenever and wherever we can get it 😂am I right?)⁣ ⁣ - - -⁣ ⁣ A few years back I traded in the temporary security of a 9-5 in order to build a life and lifestyle that had no limitations or schedules. For me this was (in the grand scheme) a small price to pay for more quality time where it matters most. ⁣ I wasn’t a mom yet when I first started in business for myself but boy am I thankful f...

Welcome to REAL life with Liz!

What better way to kick off this longtime dream and goal of mine (writing!) with a little Real life & totally raw intro and recap of this ahem...crazy year, 2020. 🤪 If we haven’t met yet, I am Elizabeth (or Liz) and this is my blog. I’ve always loved writing but have never actually put it all into one place. It has been one of those back-burner ‘one day’ goals and dreams for many years to create an outlet to get this writing out of my head and into some form of creative space. I finally decided what better way to end the year and start a new one by doing just that! So here we are, and thank you for being here to share in this journey of life, motherhood, womanhood, health, faith, business, family and all things LIFE. I hope this blog either brings inspiration, encouragement, challenge (in a good way!) or at the very least, some camaraderie & entertainment 💕. I’d also love to hear your comments and thoughts so if something speaks to you please comment, share or get in touch....
