How I Balance Business, Motherhood & Me-Time ✨
Let’s be honest—balance in my world doesn’t look like neat little schedules or color-coded planners. My life is beautifully chaotic, and I’ve learned to embrace that instead of fighting it. I’m a mom to a busy toddler, a business owner, a partner, and a woman who’s still figuring it out day by day.
💕 Business
Running Sydney & Co. isn’t just a career—it’s my passion project and my family’s future. But here’s the truth: I don’t have “set work hours.” I work from my desktop, my laptop, or most often my phone, whenever I find pockets of time. Sometimes that’s while my toddler plays next to me, sometimes it’s late at night when the house is finally quiet. My son is with me always—we don’t do daycare—so building this business has been about blending motherhood and work into one big, messy, beautiful flow.
👩👦 Motherhood
Motherhood is at the center of everything I do. My toddler is my constant sidekick—he’s with me at home, on errands, and during the everyday hustle of running a business. Some days I’m answering messages with him playing nearby, other days we’re outside soaking up fresh air together as I brainstorm ideas on my phone. Some days feel like pure chaos, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. These moments, even the hard ones, are the heartbeat of my journey.
🌸 Me-Time
Here’s where I’ve had to get intentional—because me-time doesn’t just happen, I have to claim it. For me, it looks like sipping an iced chai latte, getting my nails done, or booking a massage to reset. It’s also about the little joys, like family walks with my fiancé and son. These moments ground me and remind me that I’m not just a business owner or a mom—I’m still me.
✨ The Takeaway
Balance isn’t perfect—it’s a dance of chaos, love, and flexibility. Some days I’m all-in on work, other days it’s all about being mama, and sometimes I manage to sneak in a little time just for myself. And that’s enough.
If you’re a woman juggling all the roles, here’s your reminder: balance doesn’t mean perfection—it means giving yourself grace, embracing the chaos, and celebrating the magic in every season.
With love & gratitude,
Sydney 💕
