Hey there, Bawse Moms! 👋🏾
Let’s kick off this blog with a big virtual hug because I've missed yall, it's been awhile and let’s face it, being a mom is no joke! But guess what? You’re killing it! Yup, whether you’re chasing after your children, hustling in the corporate world, or juggling your side gig like a pro, you’re doing amazing, sis.
So, let's get into this: you’re rocking your mom bun like a crown, sipping on your coffee (or tea, no judgment here but yall know I'm a coffee feen), and tackling your to-do list like the superhero you are. But in the midst of all this chaos, how do you find that elusive thing called balance? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the art of balancing motherhood, career, and self-care like a true Bawse Mom.
First things first, let’s talk about being a mom to a little boy tornado (ahem, I mean toddler) aka my life. From potty training to the sporadic and unwarranted tantrums, life with a little guy can be both exhilarating and exhausting-- but I love it here-- AND here’s the secret sauce: I embrace the chaos! Yep, instead of stressing over every spilled juice or Lego landmine, I take a deep breath and roll with the punches (literally, my man always says "you let him do whatever he wants lol. AND DO, sometimes). After all, these messy moments make the best memories, right?
Now, onto the corporate hustle, because yall know I am an advocate for the corporate baddies. Balancing a 9-5 job while keeping your sanity intact is no easy task, especially when you throw in those last-minute meetings and endless email chains. But here’s the tea: you’re not just a corporate warrior, you’re a Bawse Mom! So, own that boardroom like a bawse lady and remember that your power doesn’t end when you clock out. You’re a force to be reckoned with, both in and out of the office, period.
And let’s not forget about those side hustles! As the side hustle Queen here, salute to you mama, whether you’re slaying it as a social media influencer, a freelance writer, or a budding entrepreneur, pursuing your passions outside of your 9-5 is what makes you truly unstoppable. But here’s the kicker: don’t let the hustle consume you. Remember to set boundaries, prioritize self-care, and know when to hit pause and recharge those mama batteries. Trust me, once I understood this assignment, I felt nothing could or would stop me form being ambitious as a mama.
Ah, self-care. It’s not just a buzzword, it’s a non-negotiable-- at least in my world these days. As Bawse Moms, we understand the importance of filling our cups so we can pour into others. So, go ahead and schedule that spa day, indulge in a Netflix binge, or simply take a moment to breathe. Because here’s the truth bomb: self-care isn’t selfish, it’s survival- and it's how we thrive!
And last but certainly not least, let’s talk about comparison. It’s the thief of joy, the ultimate joy-killer. But here’s the reality check: you are incomparable. Your journey, your struggles, your triumphs—they’re uniquely yours. So, instead of scrolling through Instagram and playing the comparison game, celebrate your wins, big and small. Because you, mAMA, are a Bawse Mom, and there’s no one else quite like you. I fell victim to it too, so you're not alone adn honestly everyone does it. One thing I have discovered is that God gave me certain talents and a life that is not like any other moms and I must embrace it and learn how to navigate it on my own terms.
So, there you have it, Bawse Moms. Embrace the chaos, own your power, and remember that balance is not a destination, it’s a journey. And you, mama, are navigating it like a true Bawse. Keep slaying, keep shining, and always remember that you are enough, just as you are.
