iza,

Earlier today, Natalie asked me, “What is your biggest struggle in business right now?”

I was on her Bossbabe podcast this morning:

Stay tuned for when it launches soon!

I answered honestly,

“It’s not getting to work as much as I want to.”

I LOVE my work.

But right now, I am pretty much a full-time mama.

A lot of my life looks like denying what I want to do in the short term (work 80 hours a week) for what I want in the long term (giving Ellie a childhood where her mama was present).

I’d LOVE to work hours and hours, completely uninterrupted.

Instead, I am potty-training a 3-year-old.

But here’s the thing.

I WANT to be that present mama.

So yes, it is a sacrifice.

I don’t think I will ever regret it, though.

Love,

Maria
