10 Things I’ve Learned Since Becoming a Mom, Chiropractor & Weekend-Only Business Owner
1. Motherhood forces you to reinvent your schedule and it actually works.
I used to think weekday hours were non-negotiable. Now I run a thriving practice on weekends only, and my weekdays are filled with motherhood, not missed opportunities.
2. Slower weekdays don’t mean I’m doing less they mean I’m doing what matters.
Midday cuddles, stroller walks, and naps on my chest have become just as important as patient visits.
3. Weekend work takes discipline but it also removes the guilt.
When I’m at the clinic, I’m fully present for patients. When I’m home, I’m fully present for my baby. The separation is cleaner than it ever was before.
4. Boundaries stopped being optional.
If it’s not essential, aligned, or profitable, it doesn’t fit into my new schedule and that’s okay.
5. Efficiency is everything.
Working weekends taught me that productivity isn’t about time; it’s about intention. No wasted moments, no unnecessary steps.
6. It’s okay to grow differently than you expected.
I imagined scaling in one direction… motherhood redirected me toward a path that feels even more aligned and sustainable.
7. Who you marry matters and having a partner who completely supports your needs your vision and understands the help that’s required to achieve all these things is so vital and important.
8. Even limited hours can produce unlimited impact.
I’ve learned that transformation doesn’t require a Monday–Friday schedule. My patients still see results, and my business still grows.
9. My identity expanded, not diminished.
I didn’t become less of a chiropractor or entrepreneur I became more grounded, more intentional, and more purpose-driven.
10. My babies became my “why,” not my obstacle.
The shift to weekend-only work wasn’t a setback it was a recalibration toward a life that honors both my family and my calling.
