Professional Coaching for Talented, Caring Mothers

Welcome to the Life Junctions website!

You are most likely here because you are a talented, caring mother. Talented, caring mothers are very busy. Take a quick look at the following statements. How many apply to you?

"I'd love to have a career or profession that would allow me to stay deeply connected to my family and still have some time for myself."

"I make sure my children are cared for, I manage the ins and outs of the household, and I get work done. I'm actually good at what I do, yet I often feel tired or frenzied."

"Sometimes I manage to squeeze in some fun, but often at a cost."

"I know I need to, but I just don't have the time or energy to take care of myself."

"Before I had children, I excelled at what I did and had a plan/lifelong goal. But now, with my children, that plan/goal doesn't seem to apply to me anymore."

"I know I should be thinking about what to do next, but I am not sure what that could be. Even if I knew, I don't know if I’d have the time or energy to look into it."

"If tomorrow someone miraculously granted me a two-hour block of time that I had to spend alone and only on me, I'm not quite sure what I would do."

"Sometimes I feel lost in the chaos of children, work, and everyday life."

If you agree with any of the statements above, know that you are not alone. All of these statements have been uttered by my clients or by mothers I have interviewed in my previous research. And they have certainly have passed my own lips.

You may feel like "work-life balance" is an impossible dream. But it is possible. know this because I live it and my clients do, too.

Using my 15+ years of experience researching work-family conflict and early childhood education, I now have the privilege of working with exceptional women who are loving mothers and outstanding professionals. Together we find solutions to achieving not only "work-life balance" but satisfying, rewarding lives.

I hope you enjoy exploring this website. And if you haven't already done so, sign up for my newsletter. It's an easy way to receive great ideas about finding professional-family-personal equilibrium in your life.
