Recently, I got a call from a publisher interested in showcasing my book of poetry in an international book fair in London. To say I was shocked is putting it lightly. I published the book in 2012. I don’t even promote it anymore. I was surprised that they’d found it AND had an interest in […] Read more…

On motherhood, dreams + doing too much
“You can absolutely have it all, just not at the same time.” I’ll never forget when my former network President told me that. It was a piece of advice that rings more true for me today than when I was working for her. She was the President of the TV network I worked for and […] Read more…
Motivated Mama : Carisa Montooth

Never Too Late

I talked too many moms who felt like everything about them had to hit the back burner because their name changed to mama. […] Read more…
