  • Pressure… feeling a little like Luisa

    When I found out I was expecting, I began to have an overwhelming sense of pressure… pressure not to gain too much weight. Pressure to work until the very need. Pressure to not ask for help or not complain because this is what I wanted. Once I hit the third trimester, I felt pressure to

    Old Me Vs New Me

    After having my children, I often fell guilty when I step out without them. As much as I preach the importance of having a balanced life, I feel like I should be home with them especially when they see me leave and they cry. When I finally muster the strength to go out, I find
