If you've been around the Mother Like a Boss™ world for any amount of time, you know one of my signature phrases is, "Routines should fit into your life, not the other way around." Routines are great, the bee's knees for sure, but what happens when they become an obsession? It's easy to become obsessed with micromanaging the moments of our lives to avoid the chaos we fear, but is that any way to r...

In the instant gratification nation we're all living in, what does it truly mean to buy your time back? What would it look like to invest some of your time now to buy it back in the future?

When I started my first business at 22, not knowing anything about business, I didn't think much about financial freedom. I was brought up to believe you worked, made money then retired. It wasn't until years later when I opened my mind to new possibilities that I realized I could create my own financial freedom for my family while empowering moms around the world to create freedom in their own ho...

We're all familiar with fear of failure, but what about a fear of success? It seems downright nutty to fear doing well and yet here so many of us sit afraid of being too much, having too much or maintaining too much. Whether it's at a job, in a business, at home with your kids, in your marriage or just managing your home, fear of success is real and ultimately causes us to self-sabotage so we neve...

I'm still shocked at how controversial the topic of house cleaning can be in the motherhood community and how dead-set we all are that it has to be the worst, most exhausting thing in the world. It's no wonder how many side-eyes I get when I say I spend only 30 minutes a day cleaning my house. With two kids, a business and a slew of other responsibilities, I'm pretty uninterested in spending my pr...

In a world dead set on saying yes to every opportunity that comes along, what would happen if you said no more often?

"I have high expectations." is a phrase I've heard my entire life, from teachers, parents and even out of my own life. But what does that really mean?

We're not an overly strict household. I'm not an overly strict mother, but when it comes to the words we use in our house, my husband and I are sticklers.

Money is a loaded topic and one most people stay away from. But not me. I love money because I know the true power that can be found when good people have money. As women, we're still playing catch-up and money can feel like an icky topic, especially if we're not the one "bringing home the bacon." It's still important. I'm here to tell my own winding story and shed some light on the transformation...
