Sharing the hardships and triumphs of Leadership, Motherhood, & Marriage, while living a Christ centered life in the chaos.
The concept of The Working Mom emerged from a moment when I found myself caught in a cycle of shifting my perspective. I often feel overwhelmed, reflecting on where I fall short, the responsibilities I struggle to meet, and the precious moments with my children that I sacrifice by following this unbalanced path.
As the start of homeschooling approached, each week I urgently sought a new strategy to restore equilibrium to my life. I’ve compromised on healthy meals, often with my eyes glued to the computer screen while trying to hush the kids during back-to-back meetings. I’ve watched them grow right before my eyes, yet I often remain at my desk, missing the chance to truly engage with them.
Before I give the impression that my work holds no value to me and that it has no purpose, I want to add that I work as an Executive at one of the Bay Area’s largest non-denominational churches. Though my position is very operational at heart, I absolutely acknowledge that God sets up divine appointments with staff or guests where the conversation begins about natural things such as payroll or benefits yet turns into a time of ministry, and counseling as they share what they are going through, allowing God to use me to articulate whatever He knows they need to hear in that moment. I suppose those have been my favorite moments. I work in the office two days a week, and on all other days (and I do mean every other single day of the week) I work from home.
The workload has proven to be non-stop. And it occurred to me, that I simply cannot be the only mom ping ponging between hopeful ‘big change’ announcements, and letting dissociation steam roll me into surival mode week after week. And so I decided to make a space for the moms who have it altogether, the moms that are falling apart, and the moms like me... who often find themselves somewhere in between.
