Hi, Shaline. My name is Sarah and I live near Seattle in Washington state and I just wanted to say thank you

for your episode about being a mom and doing all the things. I

listened on my way to work and had tears coming down my face because it just really hit

home and it hit hard. I

Had my daughter a little over two years ago and I just wish I would have known

Some of those things that you were talking about that it was gonna be harder to do everything. Everything just gets harder

Not worse or you know, I mean, it's a good hard, but our finances are tighter and our marriage

It's harder and it was harder to work on my side business and because I didn't have a plan set in place

And I didn't realize how much harder it was gonna be I ended up having to

Step away from that because I could not juggle both well

I knew that I needed to focus on figuring out

Being a mom and what that looked like for me and making her priority first

You know, it is a journey and everybody's journey is different and I'm just grateful that you

Share that because I think especially for maybe women who don't have kids yet this message is huge

And I hope that if you're listening and you don't have kids yet that you write this down or you make a bookmark because it's so

Important to know that being a mom is hard and it's wonderful and amazing, but it's hard

There's just always some kind of mom guilt and so being able to

Recognize that and just be okay with it and just

Make that priority list and stick with what is my priority?

has just made a huge

Impact in my life and I just thank you for that because those are the things that I've learned from

Your podcasts both on here and on build your tribe. So I just wanted to say thank you. I'm a lifer
