She kept saying “I’m so grateful,” and she couldn’t stop smiling. I was instantly inspired by her sense of pride and the light that radiated through her beautiful brown eyes. I think it is no accident that Milagros, her name, means “miracles.” That’s what you experience in her presence. I couldn’t help but stare at …

When I decided to become a mompreneur over a decade ago, I was mostly seeking freedom. Being an employee, no matter how big your paycheck or fabulous your perks, can feel constrictive.

Empathy is the ability to understand someone else’s feelings, which is not a simple immediate choice, but a consistent set of …
I am a firm believer that you can transform your life by transforming your vocabulary. I have put this in practice and it has worked wonders for myself, for my family, and for the moms I mentor. There are some words and phrases that disempower us more than we can imagine. I call them “debilitating …
