One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Never Doubt Your Worth

on
Filming video at Sarah Heinz House “Don’t let someone else’s opinion define your worth.” – Jordan Michaels Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania ! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full-time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Recently, I was reminded that humility and confidence can occupy the same space. Indeed, they have to if you want to achieve success.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

on


Today, I ran the Race for the Cure. It is impossible to ignore the significance of the race. This race was moving for the same reasons that it has been in the past. It is such a good cause—40,000 people uniting to eradicate breast cancer.

I think this the fourth time that I have run the race in Pittsburgh. However, this race was different for several reasons. First, I am in awful shape. As I ran the hills and meandered through the course, I was painfully aware that I have not been working out. Second, and more importantly, I wasn’t able to share Mother’s Day with my own mother.

Fortunately, I am blessed that my mother is still living. And, every other time that I have run that race, I have done it with her. It had become a tradition. However, since she has moved, we were unable to run the race together. In addition, an upcoming event made it impractical for me, or my brother and sister, to go to DC to see her. Next weekend, we will all make it up to her.

Next weekend the entire family will be convening in Atlanta to celebrate my brother and sister’s graduation from college and business school respectively. We’ll also be celebrating my mother.  When my mother sees her children get those degrees, it will be the happiest of all days.
