Running a business while raising babies brings up a lot of feelings that seem contradictory to each other (but really aren’t). I love spending time with my girls AND I want more time away from them to work on my business.

Google search “how to start a business” and you’ll see over a million results of blog posts, memes, YouTube videos, classes, courses, and business coaches all saying how wonderful it is having your own business and that it’s the only path to freedom and wealth.

At the start of each new year, I feel so much pressure to set goals and maximize productivity.

For the past several weeks, I’ve been doing late night therapy sessions with my ten-year-old daughter. She’s struggled with anxiety since my mom died last year.
