Today I, Tara, feel the need to share something that's been on my heart - how motherhood changes everything, including how we show up in our businesses. I've been through the fog of the newborn days, running my business in tiny ten minute pockets of newborn naps, and now I'm in the season of school drop-offs, after-school chaos, and finding focus in those precious quiet hours in between. Both seasons? Beautiful, messy, and full of lessons!

When my babies were little, "work time" looked like baby-wearing through client calls, answering emails one at a time, and celebrating every small win. I learned to lean into automation, creating time-saving systems, and redefined what success meant to me — it wasn't about hitting a revenue goal, but keeping client connections strong. Now with school-aged kids, I finally have more dedicated time to work… but the trade-off is that life after school moves at lightning speed. Protecting my school-day work time and shutting the laptop when the kids get home has become my new rhythm — and honestly, it's been a game-changer. However, including my kids and allowing them to see my work lets them know that I love what I do and that they can too!

No matter what season you're in — sleepless nights or soccer practice chaos — your business can grow alongside your family. It just might look different through each phase, and that's okay!
