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, Remember We're All in This Together

As a blogger, I focus on being a working mom and publish posts designed to help empower working moms, educate those who love working moms, and advocate for the policy changes we need in order to do what we do even better. Indeed, women are still fighting for basic human rights. We are fighting or the recognition that our experiences, our femininity and our health are worthy of discussion in the greater conversation and not relegated to a sidebar discussion about a "special interest group". 

We are women. We are here. We gave birth to every person on the planet and failure to include our needs and desires in every policy conversation is a denial of our humanity. Deal us in!

As I shared recently, I am a better mom because of the assistance, advice and encouragement that I get from my sister. (For a link to that post, click here.) So, I decided to share these photos of us on International Womens' Day. They represent the special bond we women have--an empowering sisterhood that elevates our spirits and our performance when we remember that we are all traveling this journey together and we matter--whether we have given birth to a child, a company, or an idea.

So, my sisters, let's lift up one another. Let's be our cheerleaders, our champions and our heroes. And on this International Women's Day, let's commit to creating a fabric of sisterhood that is so powerful and strong that it helps change the world.
