Juggling between being a mom and a businesswoman can often be straining, but embracing both roles will always be something to be proud of. Doing so, it matters that you take time to realign your goals with your vision and purpose. Doing so will create a ripple of intentional positive effects that will ultimately help build the life of your dreams.

Bubbles & Babes is the MODERN DAY WORKING MOMS’ COMMUNITY and GUIDE to LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE and ACTUALIZING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL.
Our mission is to EMPOWER, CONNECT, EDUCATE, and help each other CREATE FULL, FABULOUS LIVES punctuated with many CHAMPAGNE MOMENTS.
I decided to launch Bubbles & Babes because I wanted to create a stronger, more collaborative, and more realistic space for the Modern Day Working Mom. A place where we could share our experiences, efficiencies and life hacks. Because working and momming is hard and it takes a village. Because moms are Superheroes who deserve to thrive in all seasons of life. Because I believe you can have it all, just not all at once. And I believe that living our best lives while raising good humans is totally doable and achievable by all when we lean on and learn from each other.
People often ask me how I do it all, from being a mom of twins, to working full time, to prioritizing health and fitness, to maintaining an active social life. And the short answer is: I don’t do it alone. And you don’t have to either — I created this space so we could all have the ultimate Mom Tribe. Bubbles & Babes is a curated destination for empowerment, community and shared expertise for the Modern Day Working Mom.
You can have it all… just not all at once.

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Confessions of a Working Mom Podcast and I cannot wait to bring you more amazing content throughout 2021.
I’m a working mom, blogger, podcaster + side hustler, helping you through this crazy and imperfect road of working motherhood!
I had a dream after my daughter was born (she just turned 5!) to create a life and career that I love, while being present for my family.
I didn’t think that as working moms we should have to choose between having a career we love and an engaged and present family life.
The Working Mom Collective Blog was created out of my dream, and now I’ve taken it a step further and put the Confessions of a Working Mom Podcast out into the world!
My mission has become to help other working moms pursue their dreams, whatever they may look like (I’m not judging – You have to do what makes YOU happy mama!)
If I can reach just one other mama and show her there is a better way to pursue your career goals while raising your family, then I will consider myself successful.
Now let’s tackle this sometimes hectic, but AMAZING journey of working motherhood together!
Love,
