Balancing Purpose and Pressure
The delicate dance between purpose and burnout affects us all, especially those balancing multiple roles as mothers, entrepreneurs, coaches, or simply humans trying to make an impact. In a world that constantly glorifies the hustle, we often forget that we can simultaneously feel deeply passionate about our work while experiencing complete exhaustion. This paradox is at the heart of what makes modern life both beautiful and challenging.

Mother's Day brings this tension into sharp focus for many. While it's a celebration of nurturing and love, it can also highlight the invisible labor that goes unacknowledged the other 364 days of the year. For those missing their mothers, like myself, the day carries a bittersweet quality - a mixture of gratitude for what we had and grief for what we've lost. That little red cardinal appearing in the morning wasn't just a bird; it was a reminder that connections transcend physical presence. Yet when Monday arrives, the weight of responsibility returns, and we're back to juggling our multiple roles while trying to remember our inherent worth.

The entrepreneurial journey compounds these challenges. When launching something new - whether it's a podcast, coaching practice, or wellness venture like Nueva - excitement and overwhelm often arrive as a package deal. The vision energizes us while the execution depletes us. There's no boss telling us to show up, no external accountability forcing us to push through fatigue. We must learn to be both the visionary and the boundary-setter, which requires a level of self-awareness many of us are still developing. The pursuit of multiple income streams reflects ambition and wisdom in today's economic landscape, but it demands intentional management of our energy.

Five fundamental truths can guide us through this complex terrain. First, you are enough exactly as you are - even on days when productivity falters. Second, rest isn't something to be earned; it's a fundamental right and necessity. Third, while you possess extraordinary creative potential, peace should never be sacrificed on the altar of productivity. Fourth, presence - with your children, yourself, and your communities - outweighs any accomplishment. Finally, authenticity trumps perfection every time; your people need the real you, not some idealized version.

Building something meaningful doesn't require hustling harder - it demands connecting deeper. The relationships we form with our truth, our purpose, and our authentic voice create the foundation for sustainable success. Your heartbeat is more than a biological function; it's a constant reminder of your inherent power and purpose. Your worth isn't measured by output but exists independent of achievement. Whether you're feeling inspired, exhausted, or both simultaneously, you're exactly where you need to be on your journey. And perhaps most importantly, it's never too late to begin again, to reimagine your path, or to bring your childhood dreams into reality. The world needs precisely what only you can offer, in exactly the way only you can provide it.

For years, I was lost, unbalanced and needing to find my purpose!

 
I have spent the last two years transforming myself; doing deep mindset work and forgiving my past.  I have been through several life changing times in my life, including, divorce, financial hardship, the loss of my mom (she was my best friend), and a life changing car accident.  

Durning my marriage I found myself in a career I did not enjoy, at home I poured everything into being the best mom and best wife I could be, but I lost myself and I didn't know who I was... I was lost after my divorce.

Over the past couple of years I have really been pouring into me and working on finding myself and my purpose.  Doing a lot of heart work, mindset and finding balance in my life. I found a community that has helped me grow as a person and it has transformed my life.  How many times have you tried to create new habits, set goals and take action to find balance in 7 key areas of your life?  Now is the time to transform your life, find clarity, balance and a purposeful life?  

I experienced a life changing car accident a year ago that gave me mortality motivation to help others.  When you sense that life is truly short, you focus your time here on earth and I truly have found my purpose and I truly believe God has directed me to pursue my passion to help others.
