It's Time To Put Yourself First

I help second generation working moms unlearn the bad habits of Supermom Culture, so they can prioritize their self-care and wellbeing without Mom Guilt.

WORK WITH ME

As a second generation working mom, you were born into Supermom Culture; the idea that you have to do it all, be it all, and never show weakness.

Keeping you trapped in a perpetual cycle of busyness with no time for yourself. 
 
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
  • You’re hardwired to focus on your family first. To always be strong and resilient, never showing vulnerability or admitting to needing help.
  • With a milestone birthday around the corner, you're starting to worry about the long-term impact of not taking care of yourself and living a healthier lifestyle.
  • You don’t complain or communicate when you need a break because you feel like there isn’t enough time with your long to-do list that only you can complete.
  • You’re a surviving perfectionist and addicted to productivity, believing you can only relax after everything is done.
  • You’re stuck in a never ending cycle of busyness, thinking you'll have time for yourself when your kids get older.
  • You don't want to take time away from your kids now because they’re only "little" once, and you want to enjoy this season before it's over.
  • You’re torn between knowing you need to be a little selfish and the fear of being judged as a bad mom.
  • You end your days tired and overstimulated, with little to no energy left for yourself, only to do it all over again tomorrow.
LET'S FILL YOUR CUP!

What is a Selfish Mom?

Being a selfish mom doesn't mean you neglect your kids, family, or your responsibilities. It means you prioritize your self-care and wellness, so you can take care of the people you love without burning out. All moms should be selfish when it comes to their well-being.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT

I see you—trying to balance it all and feeling like you’re always coming up short. It’s not your fault, and you’re definitely not alone. As a second generation working mom, you've inherited the Supermom mindset, feeling like you must take care of everyone else before doing anything for yourself.

Growing up, your culture and society conditioned you to think that your worth is tied to your ability to succeed at work, keep a spotless home, and raise happy kids—all without missing a beat.

Everyone says you can’t pour from an empty cup, but it feels like you’ve been doing that since you became a mom. As a second generation mom, you never learned how to fill your own cup, because no one in your family taught you how.

I get it. I’ve been there. 

This isn’t on you. Supermom Culture is not only unrealistic; it’s impossible. You’ve been set up with expectations that no one can meet without sacrificing their well-being. This constant pressure leaves you feeling like you never have enough time for yourself and that prioritizing your needs somehow makes you a bad mom. It feels selfish.

The truth is, taking care of yourself is not selfish; it's essential. When you prioritize your well-being, you become a happier, healthier, and a more present mom. 

Being a present mom, excelling in your career, working out, eating well, and actually having some fun is NOT easy. 

Motherhood is mentally and physically exhausting. 

You should NOT be doing it alone.

Period.

Why is self-care important?

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH): '"Kids who see their parents live healthy lifestyles are 70% more likely to adopt healthy habits themselves, which leads to improved physical health, better academic performance, and enhanced mental well-being."

NICE TO MEET YOU

Hi, I'm Grace!

I help second generation working moms unlearn the bad habits of Supermom Culture, so they can prioritize their self-care and well-being without Mom Guilt.

With 22-years in the corporate world as an engineer and senior leader, I know the never ending efforts of trying to balance the demands of work and motherhood. I’m also a certified yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and Human Design specialist. This unique combination allows me to create a coaching experience that’s both practical and holistic.

Unlike most wellness coaches, I’m not going to just give you a time management tool and a generic self-care plan, then send you on your merry way. I’m also not going to teach you how to yoga and meditate, then expect that to solve your life's problems.

I use a combination of science-based strategies that help you rewire your brain for success and guide you through the deep, personal work that addresses your intrinsic motivators and how you manage your energy. 

I’ve got an empathetic personality that's empowering, yet realistic to create and hold space for you to learn and develop the skills and confidence you need to put yourself first without the Mom Guilt. 

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

"You can’t pour from an empty cup. By filling your own cup, you have more to give to your family, friends, and the things that matter to you. As a second generation mom, you never learned how to fill your own cup. It's time to change that, because the world needs more happy and healthy moms."
