In the lead-up to Mother’s Day, conversations around motherhood often highlight its joys, but less frequently explore the discipline, decision-making, and emotional complexity that come with balancing family life and personal ambition. This discussion turns the spotlight on what it truly means to navigate motherhood while building a career and sustaining personal identity.
Joining the conversation is Shivon Mejias, director and certified massage therapist at Soothing Touch RESET, entrepreneur, author, and homeschooling mother. She joins Virmala to share her lived experience as a “multi-hyphenate” woman, reflecting on parenting, business ownership, and the lessons learned during a year of travel across Africa and Southeast Asia with her daughter, Jade, a published author. The interview explores themes of consistency, intentional parenting, burnout, and redefining what it means to be a “mompreneur” in today’s world.
