Greetings from Chaton's World in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! My days often start with laundry, early-morning emails, and making my kids a hot breakfast. They often end with late-night homework checks, making Instagram reels, and appearing on Celebrity Court of Public Opinion. Somewhere in between, I’m navigating boardrooms, working towards deadlines, and immersed in the good, bad, and ugly chaos of motherhood and household management. As a working mom of three and a professional carving out space in corporate environments, I share my journey of balancing leadership with loving my family, and I sprinkle it with self-care tips. Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy. If you’re trying to do it all without losing yourself in the process, you have found your sister in the struggle!  Continue reading to discover some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world.

Wednesday Words of Wisdom: Keep Standing!

on

"I'm still standin!"--Elton John
 
As you know, this blog is about my quest for balance in my stilettos.  I generally discuss my figurative quest. However, recently the Australian Prime Minister had a literal problem with maintaining balance and she failed. She fell down in front of dignitaries and it was recorded on YouTube. 
I feel for her. Stilettos are the last thing that you want to wear on grass.  They get stuck and make walking awkward. However, the worst thing that has happened to me is walking out of my pumps without a pedicure!
I am sharing this video to encourage other working women who may think that they’re having a bad week. No matter how high your self esteem. No matter how much confidence you have. And no matter what job you have, you may even be prime minister, maintaining your balance in stilettos is a struggle. And falling down at work sucks!
I have had a tough week. However, I have decided that I will define success differently. If I manage to get through the week without falling down at work, I will have succeeded. And if I fall down—literally or figuratively—I’ll know that I am in good company.  Indeed, I share this quest in stilettos with all working women.
(As a side note, I wonder what the Prime Minister’s favorite brand of shoes are? Does she wear Jimmy Choos? Christian Louboutins? Manolos? Stuart Weitzman? Or is she a bargain shopper? Inquiring minds want to know!)
