I joined the New Moms board in 2022 because I know first-hand how difficult it is to be a single, working mom. I was fortunate enough to have a support network that ensured I had what I needed, but the challenges were incredibly daunting. I believe every mom deserves to have the tools and network to help her be successful. Raising happy, healthy children is incredibly challenging, and New Moms makes it possible for so many young women to be successful along the journey.
Favorite Quote: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, ‘I will try again tomorrow’”.
If you are determined to keep trying, regardless of the challenges you face every day, you will be unstoppable!
