About Me
Most people assume I’ve always been excellent at managing time and keeping my stress levels in check. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In a previous chapter of my life, back when I worked as an Emmy Award winning TV news anchor and journalist, my life was a never-ending hamster wheel of stress.
“I don’t have time” was the sentence I uttered most frequently, followed by, “Sorry, I’m running late.”
I had a serious time shortage problem, and no idea how to solve it.
When your stress levels remain dangerously elevated for too long, there are consequences. Years of frenzied busyness took a toll on my health.
Eventually, I reached my breaking point and decided to leave the fast-paced world of TV journalism at the height of my career. I would spend time at home with the kids.
The Journey
I figured leaving my job would solve my stress and time issues. It didn’t. If anything, things got even worse.
As a full time parent, I fell right back into my old patterns. Rather than reinventing myself, I merely created yet another hamster wheel of busyness. And, instead of savoring the joys of motherhood, I felt busier and more exhausted than ever.
That’s when my journalistic curiosity kicked in.
Why does this keep happening to me? Why do I always feel stressed and fried to a crisp? Why does it feel like there’s never enough time…and is that actually true?
My journey to find answers unfolded into an entirely new career, not to mention, a new way of life.
