Stressed doesn’t even describe it…

How do you balance work, content creation and life? Back in December I had an emergency surgery due to 2 hernias that I was not aware I had. I was out of work for all of December, out of the gym, so no content creating, or very little… and life with 2 kids is just crazy busy this winter!! How do you balance it all??? 😩😅

Signed,

A mom trying to manage ❤️
