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.

Come to the Mom Con This Weekend!



This weekend there will be an incredible event in Pittsburgh for moms called, “The Mom Con”. The Mom Con is designed to empower, inspire and connect modern moms. Having been a part of it for the past three years, I can tell you that it’s true.

The Mom Con was started by Natalie Kovacic who partnered with Nicole Mildren to conduct this amazing event. Professionally, the event has been a way for me to network, make connections and expand my speaking career. Personally, it has been a way to make new friends.

I am honored to be a part of the event once again. I am conducting a workshop along with another lawyer, Erica Laughlin, entitled, “From Hot Mess to Hot Mom”. The session will help the participants transform their lives by becoming more intentional about how they work and how they parent. The participants will also learn how to apply the proper "d.i.e.t." to achieve success. (D): Define what success means for them at work and at home; (I): Identify ways to make their lives easier; (E): Effectively manage feelings of guilt; and (T): Take care of themselves.

I’d love to see you there. Click here to register for the event!
