“HAVING IT ALL”
Let’s Redefine What
Looks Like
For years, women have been told we can “have it all.” The implication? That we should be perfectly
put together at all times, with a six-figure business, well-behaved children, and spotless kitchens.
But “having it all” isn’t about perfection. It’s about integration. It’s about designing a life that reflects
your actual priorities — not society’s expectations.
For me, “having it all” looks like this:
Running a business I love.
Raising kind, creative, and sometimes sticky children.
Taking days off to rest without guilt.
Surrounding myself with a tribe of women who get it.
You don’t have to choose between motherhood and your dreams. You just need to define success on
your own terms — and then unapologetically chase it with a messy bun and a latte in hand.
Final Word: You’re Not Alone, Mama
If you’re reading this while hiding in your car to take a Zoom call,
or whisper-screaming at your kids to stop arguing while you
post a product listing, or quietly crying into your third coffee of
the day — I see you.
I am you.
And I want you to know that you’re doing an amazing job.
Back-to-school season isn’t just for our kids — it’s for us, too. It’s
a fresh start. A time to reset, reflect,
and remember that the same woman who signs field trip forms
at 7:58 AM is also a powerhouse entrepreneur shaping the world
one idea at a time.
So here’s to the moms building empires between spelling tests.
To the women pitching, posting, planning, parenting — all before
lunch. To the business calls taken in carpool, the webinars in
yoga pants, the contracts signed with sticky fingers nearby.
You are the heart of this economy. The soul of your family. And
the hilarious, high-achieving, beautifully chaotic force that
August needs.
Now go — conquer the school year like the queen you are. And
maybe… remember where you put the lunchboxes.
