My Working Mom Journey

For over 9 years, I struggled with mom guilt and career guilt, feeling inadequate as both a mother and a professional. My daughter's sleep struggles and strong-willed nature added to the challenges.

The emotional pain of missing out on my children's lives while working as a corporate executive led me to study happiness and well-being at work.

In 2019, I left my corporate role to launch my own brand, Arrive At Happy. Though life improved, parenting challenges persisted. We discovered our daughter was autistic with a nervous system disability.

My parenting style, inherited from my parents, was often reactive and angry, unintentionally worsening situations.A turning point came in 2021 when our autistic parenting coach suggested I needed to heal from my childhood. I embarked on a transformational healing journey, exploring various therapies and practices like EMDR, IFS, and meditation.

This process helped me evolve from an anxious, fearful, and self-critical working mom to one with self-love, inner peace, and success.My experience shows that it's possible to overcome the challenges of balancing work and motherhood, and find a path to personal growth and happiness.
