Join a Community of REAL Moms On A Mission To Tackle Parenthood’s Biggest Challenges
I have been a mom for 18 years now. There were really rough days and there have been days of glory. Each stage of motherhood has its pros and cons, its ups and downs. But through it all, the most important thing is to be MOM.
MOM doesn’t have to be perfect.
MOM doesn’t have to have all the answers.
MOM doesn’t even have to have it all together…
But MOM does need to have an extra hug available at all times.
Being a parent can be hard. Balancing family and life. Planning meals for everyone. And simply finding time for yourself.
I know what it’s like. So trust me when I say, don’t take life too seriously as a parent.
Life’s too short not to enjoy the game.
I am so excited you are here to join me and 15 of my friends as we tackle some of the biggest topics facing mothers today with real talk, real strategies and real actionable plans.
When you have those moments where you just want to run and hide, just know...you can do this.
You can make it through the day. It is all part of this crazy game we play as mothers.
Welcome to Playing Motherhood!

Holly.

Go Pack: How to Not Need a Vacation after a Family Vacation!
LJ was a corporate mom when she first traveled to Disney World and realized that she needed more Disney in her life. And to do that, she needed to get out of debt and change jobs so she'd have more freedom to travel.
She started a real estate investment company and eventually left corporate America.
She began traveling to Disney World once per month from her home in Kentucky with her four (now five) kids.
After years of loving Disney World, she started Smart Moms Plan Disney, and she now helps other smart moms make the most of their Disney vacations.

Stronger Mommy
Special Needs: How to Win the Game of a Special Needs Diagnosis
Chantelle Turner began her online entrepreneur journey shortly after having her first child. During this time she was also working hard to get her daughter the medical services and support she needs, due to complications at birth. As she found ways to help her own daughter, she realized many other parents who had kids with special needs, were not getting the support they needed either. With her learned internet and marketing skills, she founded her company; Stronger Mommy. Stronger Mommy aims to ‘Empower parents who have kids with special needs, to live a life beyond limits’. Stronger Mommy does this by helping special needs parents focus on taking care of themselves so they can then get the resources, services, support and community they need for their kids. In less than 1 year, Chantelle built a community of over 2900 special needs parents, who she now empowers and supports; and that community continues to grow daily.
