Carmen here- not asking but telling you (yes, I’m bossy) to TRUST. YOUR. GUT.

Life it too short to worry about what Norm thinks…and honestly, does he even really know us anyway?

In this post, I share how I wobbled back and forth between trusting myself and questioning myself (and freaking out a little…OK, a lot!) while learning- and living- outside the box, especially as it relates to parenting, which is already tough enough. AND why you don’t need to wait for permission… or a word, to know what you already know.

I’d love to know what shows up for you when you look back!

If you had to sum it up in a word- what would it be? And why?

Did the New Year train already leave the station—and you didn’t even have a chance to buy a ticket, let alone decide where you wanted to go?
It’s okay. That was just the first train—not the last.

New Year, SmooYear is for anyone who’s trying to survive exhaustion (and winter!), and could use a little real talk, a reality check (the good kind!), and a laugh. Here's to giving ourselves a little grace and allowing ourselves to process —without wallowing in last year’s leftovers! CHEERS!
