The Balancing Act: Modern Women With the Same Drive, Different Lifestyle

Although I have been blessed to have a progressive career of my own while raising my children, I envision a very different path for my daughter [my son, too]. Ultimately, the path is hers to create. With her upbringing, she understands realities and possibilities are shaped by nothing more than her C H O I C E S.

I am surviving the balancing act myself and admittedly some days I would rather escape to an island all alone, sit in a lawn chair or in the sand with a margarita diluted heavily with fruity ingredients (because I’m a devout lightweight) and chill!

My village, however, has been essential in this journey as well and they’ve helped me to continue floating on days I want to sink. The only thing I don’t delegate is events (football games, cheering, school programs, etc.), those are memories that I don’t want to have to hear about – I’d rather witness them.

Much love to each and every mother (and father) who are balancing the acts!

Time to #xpressyourself! Which balancing act do you fall in: the non-traditional modern woman or the modern woman with the full load?

As always, please S H A R E this post and let’s strike a conversation!

Until next time, Xoxo!

Bravo post, Auketria!

I am a modern woman with a career, business, husband and kids in tow! My balancing act is an all-day job!
