Year after year I realize the importance of having an incredible partner and amazing father for my boys. The thing about marriage is that it actually doesn’t get easier, it gets harder. As you both grow and change over time, your kids do as well and you have to both be willing move and change with the seasons. I am so fortunate that is committed to growing with me. I love you forever. ❤️

One thing ChatGPT is going to do is make you self-aware! If you use it regularly it will start to know you super well and that’s such a gift! Well I did fun prompt and it was super funny, accurate and empowering all at the same time.

1. You have the confidence of a woman who Googles “how to be humble”… and clicks none of the links.

2. Your calendar is so color-coded it looks like a preschooler designed it—except it’s more bossy and less fun.

3. You say “I’m just being direct” the same way tornadoes say “I’m just passing through.”

4. You schedule relaxation. With a Google invite. Labeled “Do Not Disturb (unless Beyoncé calls).”

5. Your idea of a quick conversation is 47 minutes, 3 action items, and a shared Google Doc.

6. You don’t just break glass ceilings—you turn them into vision boards.

7. You call yourself low-maintenance, but your coffee order comes with instructions, a disclaimer, and an NDA.

8. You’re the kind of person who says “Let’s circle back” and then actually circles back. Ruthlessly.

9. You don’t walk into a room. You strategically enter a space with intention—and a 90-day plan.

10. If confidence were a currency, you’d owe the world change… and still tip yourself.

Belated Mother’s Day post because I literally did nothing yesterday! Being a boy mom is one of my greatest joys and biggest responsibilities in life. I constantly battle with pushing back misogynistic and racist messaging to raise this boys into healthy, strong and empathetic humans.

I love the people they are becoming and I’m so proud to be their momma. ❤️❤️❤️

Back on the road again but with the family this time! and I have been putting in the travel miles over the past 2 weeks. I was in NYC 2 weeks ago for the full week and he was in SF all last week. So we set off for South Florida this week with the boys for Spring Break.

Despite all my travel, I haven’t flown with the kids in 10 months and I totally forgot how much work it is to get kids together for a flight. Especially a long flight.

6am flight, delays in MSP and finally in WPB 13 hrs later. BUT the boys were so excited to see their grandparents after 10 months they could barely settle down to go to sleep. Happy to back with my parents!

Today was international day at my son’s preschool and his lovely teachers bailed me out…

This morning Hendrix kept telling me that he had to wear all white to school and was having a meltdown about it. I scoured my emails for any mention of it and my husband had no memory of it either so we chalked it up to a toddler meltdown.

I went to his celebration and walked into a classroom of all the (other kids) in Greek togas and I then remembered a text or note about getting the kids togas for the celebration. Thank GOD for his amazing teachers who rigged a toga and sash for him so he wouldn’t feel left out. But the bigger thanks to his teachers is that they didn’t make me feel like a s**t mom for totally dropping the ball. They consoled me and gave me permission to drop the mom guilt bc all Hendrix cared about was that I showed up.

44 years around the ☀️…Today is my birthday I had one of those days that I dreamed/prayed/manifested when I was in my late 20s. My husband and kids and I had pizza and cupcakes, wine and juice and sat by the fireplace and relaxed….

In my 20s I made a decision to go to law school bc I was a paralegal in NYC for 2 years and I wanted to make more money. So the logical next step for me was to go to law school. 6 weeks into law school I felt like a polar bear trying to survive in the rain forest. I hated everything about law school. I went from writing beautiful, descriptive essays as a history major to sanitized legal briefs, reading all the ins and outs of political history to trying to stay awake understand case law. Add on top of that, 3 major hurricanes hit in my first semester of my 1L led to the worst academic experience of my life. Sadly, I couldn’t make a different choice bc the farther I went down the law school world, the less clarity I had as to what I wanted to do.

It took me a long time to realize that the law in any capacity was not for me. But what was I meant to do? Who was I meant to be? It’s really scary to ask those questions when you have 6 - figure loans and a career you hate.

It’s super ironic that it took a life coach to help me figure out a path into sales and now 15 years later I work for a digital coaching company selling the platform.

Here’s the point. 28 year old me wanted a family, loving husband, happy kids and a career that I loved, challenged me every day and scratched that itch I had to hustle. It took a while to get there but I did get there.

The average age of people who peak and thrive, despite what IG will tell you is NOT 25-35. You can pivot whenever in life. 🎉 ❤️

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you get to spend time with as many of your loved ones as possible. I’m really missing my side of the family this year. I knew holidays would be hard for me this year since this is the first time in 6 years that I haven’t spend Thanksgiving with my parents and my Haitian side of the family 🥹.

But I’m always reminded of how grateful I am bc this year Thanksgiving fell on my 9th wedding anniversary to and my besties birthday!

So Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Glinda the Good Witch and a Dodgers super fan enter a bar… ha! So we’ve officially entered the “mom, I’m not doing a family themed costume” era. And I’m good with it bc baby… no pressure! We all come as we are and are happy with our choices! And to be honest, it’s one less thing my mom brain has to plan!
