Hey y’all my name is Jasmine Brown. I am a small-town mom living in southern Virginia with my amazing fiancé, 4 kiddos, and the few animals we have on our little farm. I am on a journey to help other moms go after their goals and dreams all while spending quality time with their families and taking care of themselves.
For so long I struggled with creating a schedule that I could work-from-home, spend focused time with my family, and take care of me too. I felt like it had to be all or nothing in one area or the other. I thought that if I was taking time for my self-care then my family would suffer, or my business would suffer and honestly it would. I would take time that I should have been with my family, and I would spend trying to read personal development books or a bath to help me relax. Honestly, they were suffering because I wasn’t there when they needed me to be. My business (both coaching and network marketing) was neglected and mostly just something I kept going to make myself feel like I had other things going on when in reality I had a really expensive hobby that didn’t bring me the happiness that I needed or money that my family needed. After struggling for way too long I knew something had to change, so I quit (well not forever, clearly). I couldn’t shake the feeling though that I didn’t want a “normal” job. I wanted something that would allow me to be flexible with the hours I worked and the hours I spent with my family. So, I kept pushing forward. I am still on the journey to find what truly works for our family and to also figure out what I am meant to do with the calling of speaking, that is a whole post in itself that I’ll share later on.
If you too struggle with going for the goals that you want to achieve while spending time with your family that they need too then you are in the right place to learn with me. Times are changing and we do not have to settle for one or the other any longer! We can have both.
