Life is full of surprises, and sometimes, those surprises come in the form of challenges that shake up everything we’ve carefully planned. Recently, my family faced one of those moments, and while it wasn’t easy, it became an opportunity for growth, resilience, and connection.
When my daughter and her kids found themselves in a difficult situation, we did what any loving parents would—we opened our home to them. Our already cozy three-bedroom house is now bustling with teens over six feet tall (homeschooled), my retired husband, and me managing my auto transport business.
It sounds overwhelming, right? And it could be, but instead, it’s been an experience that has strengthened our bonds and taught us the power of leaning into faith, health, and family teamwork.
Faith: Anchored in Purpose
When life feels overwhelming, my faith serves as my anchor. Every morning begins with prayer and quiet reflection, reminding me of a greater plan at work. These moments of connection with God bring me clarity and patience, helping me focus on what truly matters. They give me the strength to face each day with hope and purpose.
Health: The Foundation of Balance
With a full house and schedule, my health isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. I stay grounded with good nutrition, customized supplements, and the calming ambiance of essential oils gently diffusing in the background. These small but intentional habits ripple through our home, creating a sense of calm and energy.
When I’m healthy and centered, it reflects on everyone else. It’s a simple truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of myself allows me to better care for those around me.
Family: A Team Effort
In our house, everyone has a role to play. We may be family, but that doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all. From pitching in with chores to respecting shared spaces, we work together to keep our home running smoothly.
A little structure, teamwork, and a good sense of humor go a long way. I like to remind everyone with a grin, “This isn’t a soup kitchen!” Knowing we’re all in this together makes even the busiest days manageable.
Work and Business: Purpose and Flexibility
Running a home-based auto transport business in the middle of a bustling household isn’t without its challenges. The secret? Systems and flexibility. I focus on the tasks that matter most, rely on automation for the rest, and stay present for my clients.
For me, work is more than transactions—it’s about building trust and relationships. My business thrives because it aligns with my priorities, and that’s exactly what I want for every woman I work with. Especially women juggling life’s demands while still chasing meaningful dreams.
Grace in the Chaos
I’ll be honest—this season hasn’t been easy. But it reminded me of our incredible strength when we lean into what matters most: faith, health, family, and purpose.
If you’re facing a challenging season, know this—you can navigate it gracefully and find joy along the way. Prioritizing what truly matters can transform even the most chaotic situations into opportunities for growth and connection.
And if you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure of your next steps, I’d love to help you find your balance.
