The Tales of a Millennial Mom – Welcome to My Diary

When I became a mom, so much about my life changed. In the best of ways and in what sometimes felt like the worst of ways. Like so many other new moms, I struggled post-partum, I felt rage and anxieties like I had never felt before and lost bits and pieces of myself that I wasn’t sure I would ever get back – and I did my best (which wasn’t that great) to hide the fact that I was struggling. Motherhood is simultaneously the greatest thing that has ever happened to me and the single most complicated challenge that I’ve ever endured, and I know I am not alone in this.

A few months ago I had a realization that my identify was completely rooted in two things, my job and my kid and while I love both those things, I needed to find a way to prioritize other relationships – be a better wife and friend and family member, feed into my passions, find ways to connect aspects of my life with things that truly make me feel fulfilled and rediscover an outlet for my creative energy. This website and this diary is just that – my outlet. This will be a real, raw and honest look at what its like to be a millennial working mom trying to balance having it all.

Come along if you’d like. This space will continue no matter how people visit, or don’t.

XO,

Stefanie
