As the owner of my own law firm, the CEO of a new legal startup (Women’s Law Collective PLLC), the mom of three kids all at very needy stages in life, and
the wife of a military captain, I am overwhelmed. I made the mistake of thinking that once I reached a certain point, being
overwhelmed would stop.
It hasn’t. In fact, it has gotten worse. BUT, I manage it. Oprah once
said that whenever you find yourself getting overwhelmed, stop thinking about the big picture & think about the one next step you can take - and then take it. This way of thinking helps me
tremendously. On top of that, ladies, don’t be too hard on yourself. You are doing your best andthat is enough. You. Are. Enough. Even on your worst days, when you say or do something that doesn’t earn you the “best mom of the day award”, it’s completely fine. Don’t beat yourself up.
Also, take care of yourself. This is one of my biggest struggles. You cannot pour from an emptycup. You will be better at all your various roles in life, if you take the time to care for yourself.
