A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Use Dresses to Stay Cool and Stylish in Hot Weather

Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

On International Women's Day, I Celebrate You! #BeBoldForChange



As an influencer dedicated to helping improve the lives of women, I want to use International Women’s Day to celebrate women—all women. I want to celebrate the woman who is in college while working and raising children, the woman who is working a job that has no benefits and even less security, the professional woman who is afraid to announce her pregnancy for fear that her boss will place her on the “mommy track” thereby causing her to lose everything that she has been working hard for, and the woman who is working harder than the man in the office beside her yet knows that while her struggle is greater, his paycheck is larger. I celebrate you as my sisters involved in the struggle.
So, kudos to you for the hard work you do every day. Know that you are not alone. There are those who are fighting every day to help us overcome, either through advocacy, grant making, social media, and more. Also know that there are good men, committed men who are encouraging us and fighting with us.  Do not be discouraged. Do not get tired. And do not faint. Our daughters need us to keep fighting. And what you are doing matters.

Today, I was humbled and honored to be recognized by The Motherhood for my contributions to this fight. For a link to the article, click here, Thank you for helping to inspire me!
