To Those Who Love Like a Mom: A Mother's Day Reflection

Happy Mother’s Day to all those who love like a mom!

💯 Being a teacher and a parent is tough. Somehow, you manage to raise your own children while shaping the lives of future leaders in your classroom. #yourock

But let’s be real—there is no balance until summer.

I 【ＫＮＯＷ】 how hard you ᴡᴏʀᴋ.

I 【ＫＮＯＷ】 how much you ɢɪᴠᴇ.

I 【ＫＮＯＷ】 the guilt of giving your all at school, then coming home completely drained.

When Motherhood Changed Everything

Becoming a mom was the turning point that led me to leave the classroom.

I realized I had become just an okay teacher, an okay mom, and an okay wife. And I wasn’t okay with that.

Our families deserve the best versions of us—not what’s left after everyone else has taken a piece.

It Is Possible

You absolutely 【ＣＡＮ】 get hired outside of education.

You absolutely 【ＣＡＮ】 have work/life balance and earn a competitive salary.

🙌🏼 Just last week, 【ＴＷＯ】 former teacher clients signed new job offers!

To Those Still Waiting

And to those longing for a family of their own—

The wait. The yearning. The devastation. The cycle that feels endless.

Please know this: You are not alone. 💗

This Mother's Day, let’s celebrate all forms of love, care, and perseverance.

You are doing more than enough—and you deserve to thrive, not just survive.
