She Inspires: Chaunie Brusie, Nurse + Young Parent Advocate

Back in 2012, I had a series that I ran on the blog called, "She Inspires!" I picked noteworthy women (aren't we all?) to give YML readers a peek inside their lives. My goal with this was to give everyday mamas some shine and perhaps share a little bit of mommy wisdom amongst ourselves. I'm pleased to announce that it's back and better than ever! Want to nominate someone for the series? Email me … [Continue reading...]

#NoTeenShame: This Is What Happens When We Support Teen Parents

Squeeeeeeee! That's all I could think when Gloria Malone (you may know her as TeenMomNYC) uploaded photos from her college graduation. Gloria had her daughter Leilani when she was 15. I didn't know her then, but I know that society isn't kind to parents in general, let alone those who are parenting before they graduate high school, so I know she had her struggles. Instead of quietly … [Continue reading...]

{She Inspires} Barbara Henry, Entrepreneur + Survivor

If you've picked up my ebook, Make It Happen, you've probably remember reading about Barbara Henry, the young entrepreneurial mom behind BabySquares. I can't stop looking at all her items for sale, especially now that it's getting colder and all her stuff just looks so cozy. I wanna take a nap in one of her scarves. LOL. But on a personal note, I love Barbara and have been following her … [Continue reading...]

{She Inspires} Lisette Orellana, Advocate For Young Mothers

Lisette has been featured on my blog before, in the oh so powerful post 15 & Pregnant.

I keep that with me and remember to take out a little time for me each day. Keep reading for more on one of … [Continue reading...]

{She Inspires} Josie, Fitness Blogger, Lover of Food

I've struggled with my weight for years. Well, I shouldn't say that. I've struggled with my weight after having my son in 2008. After my daughter was born in 2006, I had a wedding to prepare for, and I shed all of my baby weight by my six-week check-up (those were the days). But during my second pregnancy, I had just started a new full-time job and now I was taking care of a toddler as well. … [Continue reading...]
