As a political campaign professional, I've experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows around elections. That's why today I'm switching gears. You may or may not be ready for this episode, but it will be here when you are. Take what you need, and leave what you don't. I've been inspired by @TheNester and @HigherUpWellness (both on Instagram) and I share what I'm doing to switch gears. Listen in! As always, drop us a note: [email protected]

This episode is meant to be comforting and informative. It is important to find calm in the chaos, and this episode is a reminder of what really matters when it comes to political races. It's important to make a decision, like your reasons, borrow the belief and make a plan to vote. We are moms who vote-- and I love you so much.
