My point here is, whatever phase you are in, look at it for what it is for YOU and only YOU. What is going on with the rest of the world, or in the magical land of social media doesn’t matter because that isn’t you. That isn’t what defines you. At the end of the day, what will you remember most in your life? IF that is your career, then by all means, dive in! But if that’s spending time with your kids and you have the ability to do so, then DIVE IN and don’t look back.

Now, I've completely adapted my life to fit my new life as a mom and a mom boss. Coming from the corporate world you'd think that I had it together in terms of being organized, scheduled, on time and etc. In fact, I would project manage and that was really my role, holding the team accountable to timelines, scheduling and being prepared!

Now depending on the day, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday's I'm teaching about 3-4 classes on those days and working in between. When I say working I'm doing anything from creating and filming recipes, creating workouts, blogging, exploring how to optimize my website, planning out the day/week, coming up with new content and etc. To help give me time to do that, I take Alexandra to daycare on those days and typically they are very full days for both of us!
Read MoreI'd always dreamed about being a mom for most of my life. I always knew I wanted to be a mom. I know this isn't the case for everyone but it was for me. However unlike most of my high school friends and many colleagues of mine in Michigan I was not even tapping the surface in my early 30's. I hadn't met anyone I was divorced at 29 and thankfully never had children prior to that and I wasn't sure when it was going to happen. At 34, made a conscious decision to if I didn't meet anyone by 40 I would start the process and I was determined to adopt, find a sperm donor and do it myself if it came down to it.
