My Take On The 75 Hard Challenge 🫢

Having a good work life balance is the whole entire reason I started my online business. I wanted to be more present while my littles are growing up while still doing something I loved that allowed more flexibility to also be the best mom I can be.

In 20212, I worked my BUTT OFF. I did every single pop up I physically could. We had an incredible first year in business & I was so proud of my little dream but after we finished up at NFR, I was BURNT out. Then this year came & went.. I did minimal pop ups, barely posted on social media, didn't really put the love and effort into my business like I should have but I had lost all motivation & creativity because all I wanted to do was enjoy life slowly. Enjoy my kids, be more present, spend more quality time not worrying about what I had to do next.

& now here we are. It's officially 2024, and we are just a couple days shy of our two year anniversary. 🥹

Last year was a reminder of why I wanted to start this business originally - to always have the time I want with my family. So this year is all about finding the right balance.

With all of that said, here is my take on the 75 hard challenge but for a working mom who loves her job & her family.

Cheers to The 45 Day "Mom" Challenge ✨

Mah the odds be ever in your favor. 😉
