The magic happens in hospital waiting rooms
|
Reader, Yesterday I had the 'perfect"'schedule planned for my side business:
Then I found out my son needed surgery - not life-threatening, but last-minute to remove an abscess that was causing him pain. The doctor's travel schedule meant it had to happen immediately. My morning routine became hospital parking and insurance forms. My 'power hour' became responding to messages and DMs from a waiting room chair. My early bedtime? I wrote half of this newsletter from his recovery room. Here's what years of trying to 'optimize' my way to success has taught me: The magic isn't in the perfect schedule. It's in becoming someone who can build a meaningful career from anywhere.
Working moms don't need perfect conditions to create fulfilling careers. We need to become women who can work with whatever life throws at us. Because there will always be unexpected surgeries, emergency appointments, and last-minute changes. But there will also always be small pockets of possibility. Even in hospital chairs and recovery rooms. What if instead of fighting against the chaos of working motherhood, you learned to work with it? What if you could create a career that bends with your life instead of breaking under the pressure? What if you could do fulfilling work, have real time for your kids, AND maintain financial independence? This is exactly what I help working moms figure out through my 1:1 coaching program. Not by giving you another impossible schedule to follow, but by helping you design a career that actually fits your real life. If you're tired of choosing between career success and being present for your family, I'd love to chat. Just reply to this email with 'LET'S TALK' and I'll send you details about how we can work together. Talk soon, Sharon P.S. My son is doing great and already planning how he can get back to his karting. Kids are resilient - and so are we. |

Reader, Can I be honest with you about something? I used to wait for the 'perfect moment' to make career moves. When the kids were older. When I had more savings. When I felt 100% confident I could pull it off. Here's what I learned: That moment never comes. The career you want? The one that gives you fulfilling work, time flexibility, and financial freedom? It starts with believing you can figure it out as you go. Today I'm sharing the 3-step method I use to build that belief - even when I'm...
I spent the last 2 weeks interviewing 12 working moms - senior leaders, middle managers, high achievers who've made it "up the ladder." One theme emerged so consistently it surprised me: Every single one valued time with family over traditional career advancement. Unfortunately with traditional 9-5 jobs, choices are limited to 2 options: Keep climbing the ladder and sacrifice family time Accept smaller roles with fewer financial opportunities But there is a strategic third option. HERE'S MY...
Inside this weekly guide: The mindset shifts that help ambitious moms excel at work without sacrificing family time. Most working moms think work-life balance means choosing between career and family. That’s the problem right there. Real work-life balance isn’t about choosing—it’s about redefining what balance actually means. Here’s what I’ve learned: Balance isn’t about everything being perfect or going your way. It’s about holding space for both the challenging and the beautiful,...
