Children: 5, we are a blended family we each came into the relationship with 2 kiddos and then had a baby together

How would you best describe yourself?

Loud, outgoing, lover of learning, a little bit weird, sarcastic, straight to the point, funny, creative, and a bit of a nerd

How has becoming a parent changed your perception of work and career and what surprised you the most?

I always thought I wanted to be a stay-at-home mum but then I became one and it wasn’t what I wanted at all I needed to be doing more than just being a mum.

What advice would you give your younger self about starting a family?

Wait. I was 24 when I had my first baby and while I love being a mum I wish I had waited until I had done more things explored and traveled.

What has been your biggest challenge in motherhood to date? How have you overcome this?

I think that my biggest struggle would be dealing with the ramifications of splitting up with my boy’s dad blending our current family was easy but dealing with an ex-partner that is an unreasonable person and still wants to control me and not accept our children for who they are has been a big struggle especially with my eldest son.

What are your strategies to manage the juggle of career and family?

Honestly, the best thing is just planning I block out my whole month in advance.

What do you do for self-care?

I see my osteo at least once a month, diving into learning new things I always want more learning is fun for me.
