Hi Moms!

 

My Background

I hold an undergraduate degree in Journalism, a Master’s Degree in Social Work, and I am currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Education, with a focus on leadership and special education. My professional experience includes supporting children, teens, adults, and families across a range of clinical, community, crisis, and school-based settings, with a focus on mental health, crisis support, social-emotional learning, and systems navigation.

​

Today, I work in an elementary school providing individual and group support to students, collaborating with educators and families, and supporting school-wide social-emotional initiatives. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and shaped by both professional training and lived experience.

​

Life as a Mom

I’m married and the mom of former micro-preemie twins, born at 25 weeks, weighing 1-pound each. After months in the NICU and years of follow-up care and advocacy, parenting through medical complexity has deeply shaped how I view resilience, balance, and speaking up — both personally and professionally.

 

Why This Blog

I created this blog for women who are carrying a lot — mentally, emotionally, and logistically.

Here, you’ll find content focused on:

• Motherhood and advocacy

• Working mom life and burnout

• Mental Health

• ADHD and executive functioning

• Navigating school and healthcare systems

• Routines, self-care, and realistic balance

• Modest fashion, favorite finds, and everyday essentials

​

My goal is to offer honest, supportive content that helps you feel empowered and less alone. We are all just managing life day-by-day.

 

Thanks for being here — I hope you find something that helps you feel a little less alone.

 

Warm regards,

 

Alyssa
