Vanessa found a way to turn every excuse in the book into her drive.

She became a mother earlier than most, but from the beginning was determined to do motherhood her way.

She refused to be a statistic and would even repeat to herself, “Failure is not an option” when things got hard.

She not only finished high school and graduated college, but she went on to become a nurse and an IBCLC, as well as an entrepreneur determined to diversify her income and keep things fun along the way.

Her story of determination and grit is a powerful one for all moms listening, including myself.

We talked about ⬇️

➡️the challenges of being a single mom while working a full-time job while also building your business on the side

➡️how sometimes your business does have to take a backseat, and knowing when and how to prioritize

➡️the importance of prenatal breast-feeding education.

➡️the link between breast-feeding and mental health.

➡️learning how to stay in your lane and not compare your journey to everybody else’s around you who has different circumstances than you.

➡️🔥🔥We also dove into her personal experience with depression. She shared so candidly and vulnerably it gave me chills!

A MUST LISTEN!
