I’m Kathy, the blogger, life coach, and homemaker of Making It All Work. My mission is to help women tackle chaos, create calm, and create a life they love! I cover many areas of being a woman, mom, and homemaker. Hopefully, it will bless you and your family! Learn more on my about page.
Life as a Mom
Chaos and mayhem. Two words that many moms identify with. We see memes and gifs making our daily struggles to dress, feed, and raise our kids or cook, clean, and manage our homes into something to laugh about.
And while it’s good to see the humor in things we experience, it also makes our struggles seem smaller than they are. Like our struggle to not just hide under the covers instead of facing another day of cleaning up spills and changing diapers.
But you know what? It’s okay to feel that way! All moms struggle trying to balance it all, find the energy to push through hard days, and feel adequate. Even those moms you see at the school drop-off or at church service that seem they have it all together.
They’ve struggled, too. Maybe it’s a child’s learning disability, or maybe finances are squeezing tight. Whatever it is, we all face trouble in life. It could be they are frustrated with trying to keep up with housework, home maintenance, or figuring out how to decorate without breaking the budget.
Turning Negatives into Positives
I’ve been a stay-at-home/ home schooling/work-at-home mom since my daughter’s birth in 1995. I struggled with feeling inadequate. I questioned many of my choices. I worried I would fail as a home-school mom. My husband and I have struggled with serious money issues, job loss, marital problems, and health problems.
In hindsight, I learned how to take those experiences to help others like you find ways to make it through those days, and even big life, struggles. I found myself in a place in which I had finally completed a general studies degree (business/biblical studies).
Yet, I had no idea how I could use it as a career or fulfill my desire to help others. With some soul searching and prayer, I realized becoming a life coach fit well.
It’s taken me a few years to see how it was meant to come together finally. I had some growing to do (and still do!). To combine my life coach training with my blog experience.
I realized that instead of feeling regret for all the disappointments and bad choices, I could use those experiences to help other moms to recognize what keeps them from feeling happy with their lives and recognize there are things they can do/use to help calm the chaos.
What’s MIAW is all About
This idea, dream, and vision I’d had finally came into clear view when I had the opportunity to take over Making It All Work. And that’s where we met today.
It’s my prayer and goal. God will use me to help encourage you to seek out ways you can conquer those dragons – the stuff that makes you miserable. It’s when you find inner peace and balance you also find heartfelt, lasting happiness, no matter what life throws at you now and then.
