2020: Lets stop telling moms they should stay home with their children & not go to work / lets stop telling moms they should go to work instead of stay home with their children!
Lets just let moms do whatever the f*ck they need/want to do which will make them the best mom they can be.
Being a working mom is a rewarding challenge & 30 minutes isn't enough to dig deep into it but here is a glimpse into my take on being a working mama.

I personally have never had a miscarriage but this is my first experience with one when I was 7 years old.
I have full permission from my strong momma to speak about this story.
One that I will never forget and one that has shaped me to be so compassionate towards women who have experienced this type of loss.
Although I have never experienced this loss I sympathize deeply with the women who have.

My heart is with you all - always.


This episode is in memory of the babyboy my mother misscarried at 6 months -my brother in Heaven- Jonathan.

It is no secret that relathionships are hard.

I have never met anyone that had said their entire relationship has been easy. No matter what - there will be a rough patch or ups and downs at some point.
After having a child your relationship goes through a rough patch. 
You're sleep deprived, irritable and disconnected from your partner. 
Yet all you see in movies,magazines or social media is the unrealistic protrayal that a baby has completed your union and you are now living in complete bliss. FYI: That's not the case for most.
For some real talk hit play!
