What’s your favorite season?⁣ ⁣ The mornings What’s your favorite season?⁣
⁣
The mornings are getting darker and the days shorter here in Chicagoland. ⁣
⁣
We can feel and see  the shift in the weather too. Although summer is acting out and showing off these last few days. 🔥☀️🕶️⁣
⁣
There’s a shift of season in our household too as our kids get ready to go back to school. ⁣
⁣
We have seasons too as working mothers. Some we can see and feel at home, at work, with our kids and within ourselves. ⁣
⁣
The shifts within yourself as a working mother aren’t always easy to see or feel though. ⁣
⁣
It’s important to reflect and check in with yourself often or you’ll miss these shifts within yourself… ⁣
⁣
Especially as a busy high achieving rockstar working mom juggling multiple hats and roles. ⁣
⁣
Comment below or send me a DM if you’d like a tool to help you discover the working mom season or phase you’re in. ⁣
⁣
You got this mama!⁣

Let It Go!⁣
⁣
Let Your Weight Go! ⁣
⁣
No matter the weight of the load you’re carrying over time it becomes increasingly difficult to hold.⁣
⁣
I was reminded again how seemingly “light weights” will undoubtedly become heavier the longer you hold them during weight training last week.⁣
⁣
The weight you hold on to whether tangible or intangible, figurative or actual weight…will become heavier and affect you in some way. ⁣
⁣
Ask for help.⁣
Get help.⁣
Hire help.⁣
Outsource.⁣
⁣
Sometimes you just need to cry it out. ⁣
Journal.⁣
Talk with somebody.⁣
Go for a run or just move your body. ⁣
⁣
Life is a challenge. Add being a working mother wearing multiple hats trying to rock life at home and at work…⁣
⁣
The weight of your entire load can become so heavy without you recognizing how it’s affecting you. ⁣
⁣
I highly encourage you to 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥 as you begin your week. Especially if you’re feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and a bag of unknown emotions and feelings….⁣

Have a wonderful week.⁣
You’re doing amazing, Mama! ⁣

We must generate the mood we want AND need especia We must generate the mood we want AND need especially when life and our world seems bleak. ⁣
⁣
We cannot leave ourselves vulnerable to whatever life throws our way. ⁣
⁣
Every day that we open our eyes We GET TO decide on the mood we want to have.⁣

Some of us have to fight harder to overcome internal and external stuff…𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘥, 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥, 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦!⁣

Big up to all the women and working moms who are u Big up to all the women and working moms who are unapologetically embracing who they are and going after the lives they feel called to.⁣
⁣
Despite the internal and external struggles, doubts and challenges. ⁣
⁣
Thank You for showing other women and working moms that they CAN too. ⁣
⁣
Thank you for showing me that I don’t have to settle. ⁣
⁣
Thank you for showing me that I’m not alone and that there is INDEED another way! ⁣
⁣
THANK YOU!⁣
⁣
Being a working mother shouldn’t be this difficult. Especially during this time! ⁣
⁣
NO! IT SHOULD NOT! ⁣
⁣
Thank you for encouraging me to dream beyond my wildest dreams. ⁣
⁣
I know it’s not easy. ⁣
⁣
Keep showing up for yourself. It gives others permission to do the same. ⁣
⁣
I’m extraordinarily grateful for the women and working mothers that are stepping into who they are and creating the lives they want, need and love, despite the challenges.⁣
⁣
You give me and other women and working moms hope and belief which allows us to give ourselves permission to go after the working mom lives we want too.⁣
⁣
I SEE YOU!⁣
THANK YOU!⁣

So much love and respect,⁣

It’s mid week, mid month and just over four mont It’s mid week, mid month and just over four months before 2024.⁣
⁣
Let’s do a quick self check. ⁣
⁣
Are you truly ALL in? ⁣
⁣
Are you unconsciously giving yourself a way out ? Or self sabotaging? 😬⁣
⁣
Our doubts, fears and lack of belief can unknowingly affect how we approach and go after our goals. ⁣
⁣
Especially those new BIG and scary goals…⁣
⁣
And even those goals you’ve been working towards for years. ⁣
⁣
Check in with yourself, mama!⁣

P.S. Re the video…⁣
I was trying to capture the breathtaking view getting off the highway as we got to Ocho Rios 🇯🇲. The camera don’t do it justice.
I promised to share pictures giving a better view I promised to share pictures giving a better view of the process of making our garden. Ahem, farm! 😜😂⁣
⁣
I’m only the helper. This is one of my husbands projects. ⁣
⁣
We’ve been gardening before we had kids, and it’s evolved over the years. ⁣
⁣
The pictures begin showing some of the food we’ve made from our harvest so far…⁣
⁣
Then gives you a chronicle of the process. ⁣
⁣
The first video is from the morning after we got back from vacation. ⁣
⁣
The next shows the day we planted. Guys, it’s only 16 days between! ⁣
⁣
I’m still blown away how fast everything grew AND produced veggies! ⁣
⁣
A few factors that made a difference: ⁣
⁣
1. The soil was well fertilized. My husband had a compost going since last year and we bought “good” soil this year. ⁣
⁣
2. The raised bed gardens and bird netting provided protection. ⁣
⁣
3. Hubby installed a timed water system since we were going to be away for a while. ⁣
⁣
3. We were fortunate that it rained a lot while we were away on vacation. ⁣
⁣
4. The experience, research, planning and strategic execution done by my husband. ⁣
⁣
They’re so many lessons in gardening we can use in various areas of our lives as we work towards our goals. ⁣
⁣
Put in the work, know they’re unknowns that will occur and adjust accordingly. ⁣
⁣
Much Love,⁣
Yamiek ⁣
