Investing In Yourself as a Mom: Why it's the Best Decision You'll Ever Make

Okay, let’s be real for a second—moms are magical creatures. We make snacks appear out of thin air, locate lost shoes with our superhuman mom-radar, and somehow survive on coffee and leftovers from our kids’ plates. But you know what we’re terrible at? Investing in ourselves.

We pour so much into our kids—their activities, education, healthy meals, and fun experiences—yet when it comes to our own growth, dreams, and well-being, we tend to push it to the back burner. But here’s the truth: when we invest in ourselves, we become better moms, better business owners, and better versions of who we were meant to be.

For years (seriously, YEARS, like an embarrassing amount of time) I was in the thinking about it but taking zero action phase. I had all these amazing ideas, but instead of doing anything, I just scrolled Pinterest, made vision boards, and thought, “Wow, someday.”

So after years of “someday” I finally decided to stop overthinking and take action— Over the last 6 months I’ve been working on and off with a business coach and let me tell you… GAME. CHANGER. It has completely transformed the way I approach my goals and I went from spinning my wheels (again, for years) to finally seeing the path I needed to take. Instead of overthinking and second guessing, I started to make actual progress.

Here’s what coaching helped me do:

💡 I finally have clarity – No more jumping from idea to idea like a squirrel on espresso.
🔥 I have confidence – I’m showing up for myself like never before.
🚀 I have a strategy – Instead of winging it, I have an actual plan to reach my goals.

But having someone in my corner—someone who could see my blind spots, challenge my mindset, and push me to take action—has made all the difference.

And now, I’m diving head first into full-time coaching for the next 6 months and I am over the moon excited.

I have some really big, terrifying goals on my heart—ones that will stretch me, challenge me, and push me outside my comfort zone. And I know that by continuing to invest in myself, they are absolutely within reach.

Some of those goals?

🌟 Expanding Mom Masterminds into a thriving, engaged community that empowers moms to step outside their comfort zones and live aligned, fulfilling lives.
🌟 Growing my VA business, Freedom-Focused Mom VA, to bring in consistent income while helping other moms do the same.
🌟 Pursuing an even bigger vision for my family’s future, one that involves adventure, freedom, and living life on our own terms.

These aren’t just vague dreams anymore—they’re real, actionable goals, and I’m bringing them to life.

Ways to Invest in Yourself Today!

I get it—not everyone is looking for a coach, and that’s totally okay. But the good news? There are countless ways to invest in yourself every single day through small, intentional actions that add up in a big way. Here are a few:

📚 Read books that inspire you – And no, Goodnight Moon for the 500th time doesn’t count. Grab something that fuels your growth.
🎧 Listen to uplifting podcasts – Trade in the constant loop of Paw Patrol theme songs for something that motivates you. Your brain will thank you.
📝 Journal your thoughts – Sometimes the best way to figure out what you want is to just write it all down.
🧘‍♀️ Take time for yourself – A nap. A solo walk. A shower without a tiny human banging on the door. It all adds up.
💻 Learn something new – Take an online course, watch YouTube tutorials, or dive into a new skill that excites you.
👯‍♀️ Find your people – Surround yourself with women who inspire, support, and challenge you to level up. The right community is everything.

You Deserve This

I don’t care how long your to-do list is, how many baskets of laundry are staring you down, or how many snacks your kids have asked for today (it’s at least 1542).

You are worth the investment.

So take the first step. Read the book. Join the group. Learn the skill. Work with the coach.

Your dreams deserve your attention. And trust me—once you start betting on yourself, everything starts to shift in ways you never imagined.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some big goals to crush. And probably a fight or two to break up and some snacks to make.

Cheering you on!!
