About
The story behind Working Moms Movement
This work was created with you in mind
Working Moms Movement began after years of watching capable, driven women quietly running on empty. I work with high-achieving working moms who look like they’re holding it all together, but behind the scenes feel stretched thin, overwhelmed, and stuck in an endless cycle of to-do lists. They’re successful in their careers, deeply committed to their families, and still feel like life is constantly one step away from falling apart.
I created Working Moms Movement to help women move out of survival mode and into a life that works with more ease, less friction, and far less exhaustion. I help my clients move from feeling consumed by everything they’re responsible for to feeling in control, present, and supported at work, at home, and in their own lives.
This work isn’t about doing more. It’s about changing how life is structured so it feels sustainable again.
Friend, you're in the right place if...
You feel overwhelmed trying to balance work, family, and everything in between
Your to-do list feels endless, and no matter how much you do, it’s never “enough”
It’s been years since you consistently worked out, rested, or truly cared for yourself
You carry most of the mental load at home and feel frustrated that it isn’t shared equally
You’re consumed by mom guilt and constantly torn between your kids, your career, and yourself
You’re a perfectionist and high achiever and starting to realize those strengths may also be fueling burnout
If you’re nodding along, you’re not broken, and you’re not alone.
I REFUSED TO LIVE ON EMPTY.
I hit a point where I knew I couldn’t keep living this way.
There was a moment when I realized something had to change. I was successful, capable, and doing what I was supposed to be doing, but I was exhausted in a way that felt unsustainable. And what scared me most wasn’t how tired I was in that moment. It was the thought of feeling that depleted for the next two decades while raising my kids.
I didn’t want to rush through their childhood in survival mode. I didn’t want to be so busy holding everything together that I lost myself in the process. I wanted to enjoy the journey with them…to be present, energized, and still proud of the life and career I was building.
That realization led me to a disruptive reset. Not because anything was “wrong,” but because the way my life was structured required too much from me. I knew there had to be a better way…one that allowed me to succeed without constantly running on empty.
That’s the work I do now. I help women who feel like they’re doing everything right (but paying for it with their energy, presence, and joy!) create lives that work with more ease, intention, and sustainability.
PRACTICAL SUPPORT FOR REAL LIFE
Because your life isn't one size fit all
My mission is to help working moms move out of survival mode and into lives that actually support their careers, families, and well-being.
I do this by combining real-life experience with systems-driven thinking—so instead of asking women to push harder, manage better, or do more, we redesign how their time, energy, and responsibilities work together. This work is about alignment, not perfection. When your systems reflect what you truly value, decisions become clearer, boundaries hold more easily, and life stops feeling like a constant tradeoff.
The goal isn’t balance for a season. It’s sustainable success for the long haul.
What shapes my work
REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE
I’m a working mom of two boys who understands how easily life can slide into survival mode. I know what it feels like to carry the mental load, juggle a demanding career, and quietly wonder how long you can keep this pace without losing yourself.
That lived experience is what pushed me to stop muscling through—and start redesigning how my life actually worked.
SYSTEMS DRIVEN THINKING
I’m trained as an Industrial & Systems Engineer and spent over 20 years leading behavior change and organizational transformation. When life became unsustainable, I didn’t look for more willpower, I went back to my roots and designed systems that actually supported my life.
That systems-based approach is the foundation of everything I do today.
SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS
I help women build lives that support their careers, families, and well-being—without everything depending on them holding it all together. The goal isn’t balance for a season. It’s sustainability for the long haul.
VALUES-ALIGNED, HUMAN-CENTERED WORK
Before founding Working Moms Movement, I spent two decades helping leaders and teams align personal values with organizational expectations. I saw firsthand how misalignment—between what people value and how they’re forced to spend their time and energy—quietly leads to burnout.
Today, I help working moms align their most important resources—time, money, and energy—with what truly matters to them. When that alignment is in place, change sticks.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be curious about the possibilities.

This quick quiz isn’t about fixing anything or committing to change. It’s simply a way to understand where small shifts could create meaningful relief so you can decide what feels right for you.
