Day in the life of a NYC reporter and twin mom 🤍 Even on a “day off” I’m out speaking to students for Women’s History Month to share my journey to becoming a TV news reporter. Then it’s straight back home to my real full-time job… being mama to these two 🥹 Solo day with my boys and soaking up every second. When I’m feeling drained, I still have to show up for my commitments and for them and I really do love every moment with them.

... Read moreBeing a working mother of twins while maintaining a demanding career in TV journalism in New York City is no small feat, and I truly resonate with the dedication and resilience this lifestyle requires. From my personal experience, one of the biggest challenges is the constant feeling of never getting a true day off—even when you’re technically 'off work,' responsibilities at home and commitments elsewhere continue to fill your schedule. The routine described, involving speaking at schools for Women’s History Month and then immediately shifting to the hands-on role of solo parenting, reflects an intense juggling act. When I was balancing similar responsibilities, I found that planning and flexibility were essential. For instance, separating twin naps during the day to avoid disruptions is a clever strategy, as twins can naturally turn nap time into playtime if left together. Emotional exhaustion often goes unmentioned but is very real—as seen through moments of crying and still showing up professionally. I learned that self-care, even in small doses, like moments of quiet after the children’s bedtime or sharing the load when a partner is home, is vital to sustaining this pace. Using helpful tools, like the Baby Brezza for bottle preparation, can make the solo parenting parts slightly more manageable. Also, children’s developmental milestones, such as learning to walk or teething pains, add layers of complexity but also rewarding breakthroughs. Incorporating moments to speak to students about one’s career journey during Women's History Month is inspiring and reinforces the importance of representation and mentorship. Sharing these stories not only affirms personal growth but also impacts young minds considering their futures. Overall, the balance of professional commitment, motherhood, and personal well-being is a continuous effort. The gratitude expressed towards the support system, whether it’s a partner helping with bedtime or parents needing a break, is crucial. This authentic glimpse encourages others in similar situations to find strength in managing multiple roles and emphasizes the importance of community and self-compassion.
