Hi, I’m Yesenia
A full-time career mom of two kids. I’ve experienced all of the stressful moments of early parenthood while trying to work a full-time job. I know what it’s like to be an overwhelmed mom and have to choose between excelling at work and tending to your family’s needs- all while trying to figure out when to make time for yourself.
Through my work experiences as both a busy lawyer and certified project manager, I was able to successfully create routines and systems in my own home that helped me balance my own priorities, spend quality time with my family, and find more time to do the things I enjoy doing, like going out with friends and writing!
My goal through the Hard Knock Mama working moms blog is to help you knock out your to-do list in half the time and make time for yourself WITHOUT the mom guilt! Let’s get rid of burn out and overwhelm together!
