🌿Twins & Tea: Managing Motherhood While Building on a Dream

Sometimes, the Universe will test you in every possible way, and through those tests, you will begin to question quite literally EVERYTHING about yourself. Your ability to raise and mother children. Your visions of giving back to your community in deeper and meaningful ways.

That has definitely been me lately. As I sit here typing this blog post, finally resting a bit after wrestling with a sick toddler to take his medicine before taking a nap himself, I've really had to think about what it is I'm doing and how I realistically see and want this to go. I beyond understand that nobody said this would be easy, but did I really envision my life being this way and at this stage?? Absolutely not.

🌙 The Weight of Motherhood

Motherhood is often painted as this soft, magical, never-ending string of hugs and picture-perfect moments. But the truth? It’s messy. It’s exhausting. And sometimes, it feels like you’re failing more than you’re succeeding.

When you have twins, the weight doubles. Two sets of needs, two sets of tears, and twice the emotional bandwidth required to show up for them. Most days, I just don't have it. Add on top of that my dreams of building SpeakTEAzy™ into something powerful and healing for others — and it’s no surprise I’ve felt stretched thin.

But the thing about motherhood is this: it makes you resilient in ways you didn’t know you had to be. You keep going, not because it’s easy, but because your love demands it.

🌿 Building on a Dream

SpeakTEAzy™ isn’t just a business to me — it’s an extension of who I am, of the healing I want to share with the world. Yet sometimes, I wonder if I’m asking too much of myself. Can I be both the mother my children deserve and the woman who births a legacy beyond the kitchen table?

The answer I keep coming back to is: yes, but with grace. Grace to slow down. Grace to rest. Grace to accept that I can’t do everything at once — and that doesn’t make me less of a mother or less of a visionary.

This dream is bigger than me, but it also includes me. And when I remember that, I realize that both motherhood and SpeakTEAzy™ are about the same thing: nurturing, guiding, and leaving something better than what was before.

🌸 Finding Balance in Chaos

The truth is, there will never be a “perfect” balance. Some days the kids will get more of me, and the business will get what’s left. Other days, a project or launch will steal my energy, and I’ll feel guilty about being less present. That’s real life.

But in the chaos, I’ve found little rituals that ground me — tea being one of them. Brewing, steeping, and sipping reminds me that small, intentional moments can bring peace even in the busiest of seasons.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.

🍵 Tea Ritual for Overwhelmed Mothers

Tonight, if you’re feeling stretched thin too, I invite you to join me in a simple ritual:

Choose a calming blend — I suggest one of my all-time favorites, Calmed Core™ within my comfort Corner Collection™, but chamomile, rooibos, or lavender work beautifully.
Boil water slowly — let the sound of the kettle remind you that slowing down is part of the process.
As your tea steeps, close your eyes and whisper an affirmation: “I am enough. I am present. I am building something beautiful.”
Sip slowly — with each sip, imagine pouring patience and love back into yourself, so you can pour into others tomorrow.
