Today has been one of those days. It’s been a day when I’ve been called to challenge myself in uncomfortable but meaningful ways. It’s been a day when, although my emotions are running high and at the surface, I have to put on my many hats as a mom, military spouse and a support personContinue reading “Reflections & Resilience”

Showing Up for You
The thing about being a woman, and specifically a woman in the middle of a pandemic, is that the motivation to take care of ones self is particularly draining. I don’t say that statement lightly or without some “field research” to back it up. As a woman who takes pride in honouring myself with selfContinue reading “Showing Up for You”
When are we going “home”?
When you are a military family, you get a lot of questions, especially from your own children, as they start to recognize that their lives are different than the lives of their peers.

Not usually my style in life or in my writing, but I feel passionate about how, as women, we tend to place these ridiculous expectations onContinue reading “Lets talk about being “Super Mom””
