Hi there, Rockstar!
My name is Yamiek Anthony. I’m passionate about supporting high-achieving working mothers who want to be successful in their careers AND be great moms. Without sacrifing themselves.
Checked The Boxes That Lead To Success!
Like you, I have worked hard to build a successful life and career. I checked all the “boxes” I was taught would help me achieve success… College education (undergrad & graduate degrees), stable and secure career, house, car…
With My Biggest Whys – My Husband and Daughters
Living The American Dream
I was a young professional living and working in Washington, D.C. with my husband and two beautiful daughters. Life was amazing! We were living the American Dream. Two immigrant kids from Jamaica who met in college while pursuing our career goals.
I had everything I wanted and worked hard to achieve. A beautiful healthy family and a growing career that allowed me to use my skills, talents, and experience to help people achieve their career and life goals. However, over time I began to feel unhappy and discontent. I felt guilty and ungrateful for feeling that way.
I thought the problem was my job so I “fixed” it and got a new job. However, as the weeks went by those feelings of frustration that I battled for years as a new working mother began to return. I felt like I had jumped out of the frying pan right into the fire! I felt confused and stuck – unsure of what to do about it.
Our Struggles Make Us Stronger
Thankfully I had the opportunity to figure out what was happening with me and take the steps to overcome my frustrations. This journey helped me understand my struggles and showed me I was not alone. You’re not alone either!
I provided career advice, job search assistance, and resume writing services to women while I worked to create the working mom life I needed. I began to see and understand how unsupported working mothers are the more I worked with women. A passion was ignited within me and continues to grow to support working mothers.
It’s been a long journey of rediscovering myself. The more I worked to understand myself, my struggles, and what I wanted the more I saw that other women were facing the same challenges as I.
Letting Go Of What We Want Can Lead to What We Need
My journey as a frustrated working mother led me to start Rockstar Career Moms to support and empower women like you and me who want to rock their careers AND be the moms they need to be.
I now get to use my professional experiences in career coaching and recruiting and my personal experience as a frustrated working mother to help high-achieving working mothers go from being frustrated to the rockstars they are.
My life looks nothing like what I envisioned as a recent college graduate ready to take on the world, climb the corporate ladder, and build a successful career and life. My values, beliefs, and wants evolved.
It was hard to detect this shift within myself, and I struggled for years to maintain a life that no longer served me. It took stepping away from the life I worked hard to build, to find what I needed and loved.
Trust Yourself. You Have The Answers Within You!
I have seen this evolution with the women I coach as well. They often reach out to me seeking assistance with their job search after losing their jobs, when work begins to go downhill, or to get help with balancing IT ALL.
While uncovering what the women I coach want, I find that many working mothers focus on external challenges and factors—giving little or no thought to checking in with themselves to discover the answers. Fighting to hold on to goals, values, and beliefs they have outgrown that no longer serve them… just as I did for years.
Seeing the shifts within ourselves while juggling life as busy working mothers is challenging. Especially when we’re successful and meeting and exceeding our goals. Doing the things we were taught dictates success. So, please give yourself grace and have patience with yourself.
You have the answers within you to go from the frustrated working mother you are now to the rockstar career mom who’s living the life you want, need, and LOVE! Take the time to re-discover yourself! Find out what you want in this season of your working mom’s life.
Have a successful career AND be a great mother! A Rockstar Career Mom who’s rocking your life at home and work without sacrificing yourself!
I’m so honored and happy to have you here.
I SEE YOU!
I SUPPORT YOU!
I’M CHEERING YOU ON!
