Romanticizing daily life: a slow living approach to motherhood & work

For most of my adult life, I dreaded the never-ending to-do list: dishes, laundry, vacuuming, keeping the house clean… all while growing a business (and now also raising a child). I thought I had to get it all done before I could finally rest. But that “someday” never came—because life never stops asking for our attention.

In this video, I’m sharing the mindset shift that transformed my relationship with daily chores, motherhood, and entrepreneurship. From romanticizing laundry and dishes to embracing slower mornings with my daughter, this is about redefining productivity and learning how to savor life now.

Whether it’s getting outside for 90 seconds of fresh air or doing dishes with more love than resentment, this is your invitation to be more present, even in life’s most ordinary moments.
