You’ve done everything “right.”
But somewhere in the rhythm of it all, you stopped feeling like yourself.
You’ve checked the boxes. Built the business. Showed up for everyone.
You’ve made the to-do lists, kept the kids alive, chased the promotions, and poured into everyone else—on fumes.
So why does it still feel like you’re falling short?
Why do you keep hustling for a version of success that doesn’t even feel good?
Why does motherhood feel like a performance, and rest like a risk?
Because you were never meant to split yourself in two.

- Nikquan Lewis, Therapist, Mom, Business Owner
I am a therapist and business owner. I'm also a mother. This book is a living example and reminder of the necessity of balance. Of not foregoing or short-changing ourselves for one dream or the other.
​
This book is not only about the necessity of balance but the achievability of this balance. Not just for our kids or our careers, but for US. This book has been so encouraging to me, I cannot wait to share it with other women in my life. Thank you for writing this much needed reminder that we can be "boldly both".
