In 2011, I had my first child and it changed my life—including how I run my small business (which, as my first baby, was 11 years old at the time).

These are the stories that have come out of being a mom in business—or as I like to say, biz mama—with two kids who teach, challenge and inspire me regularly.

I am passionate about work-life integration (not balance) and an advocate for mental health awareness.
