I say: “You can’t do it all, but you CAN do a lot of things a lot of the time.”

As a freelance musician, teacher, entrepreneur, wife, and mom of three, I’ve learned that life is less about juggling everything at once and more about choosing which grains of sand matter today. From messy rehearsals colliding with diaper runs to setting boundaries around practice time, I’ve discovered that balance comes not from doing it all, but from releasing perfection, embracing the ebb and flow, and trusting that what I’m doing is enough for this season of life.

In this post, we explore the changing rhythms of being a musician mom, the challenges of doing it all, and why it’s okay to embrace each season as it comes.
