Hi, my name is Yesenia and aside from managing Hard Knock Mama, I am a full-time working mom of two kids. As an ambitious career-driven mom, I’ve experienced all of the stressful moments of early parenthood while trying to work a full-time job.
I used to be a lawyer working over 50 hours per week and wondering how on Earth my lifestyle was going to be sustainable to raise a family. I know what it’s like to have to choose constantly between excelling at work and tending to your family’s needs, while trying to figure out when to make time for yourself. I suffered from burnout as a result of trying to do it all and be it all.
I made some changes and found a flexible work-from-home career that allowed me to be with my family more. I also applied the prioritization and project management skills I’ve learned through my career as a lawyer and certified product manager to my home life. I was able to successfully create routines and systems that helped me balance my priorities and find more time to do the things I loved.
My goal is to help working moms knock out your to-do list in half the time and make time for yourself WITHOUT the mom guilt, so that you can stop feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and like you’re failing as a mom!
I want to pass along to you the tools and resources to help you organize your home life, become more productive with your time, and prioritize your own self care.
