| Welcome to the Work-Life Balance Hacks

Before motherhood, I was just Mina.
A girl with dreams, coffee dates, plans to see the world, and a heart full of hope.

Now, three little humans call me Mama.
And my world is bigger, heavier, and more beautiful than I ever imagined.

But if you’re here, I know you feel this as well:

The weight of carrying everything.
The ache of forgetting yourself in the process.
The quiet question: Where did the person I used to be go?

I’ve created the Shine Bright Guide for us.
For the single parents who are still carrying dreams inside grocery bags, laundry baskets, and endless workdays. For those who love wellness, crave lightness, and still believe there’s more to life than just surviving.

As a single mom of three, I’ve experienced the overwhelming juggle of work, kids, responsibilities, and invisible pressure to keep it all together. I know the exhaustion, the guilt, and the self-doubt.

But I also know this:

You can do more than just survive—you are meant to shine.

A few years ago, I did something I never thought possible.

I packed my bags and traveled to Brazil—alone, as a single mom of three. While my kids were off skiing, I ran through São Paulo’s famous parks, working out in the early morning sun, exploring hidden corners of the country, and swimming in the ocean.

I let myself burn under the sun, laugh at my too-modest swimsuit in a sea of confident Brazilian beachgoers, and dance through the streets during Carnival, losing myself in the music and the moment.

For the first time in years, I felt free. Alive. Powerful.

Not because life was easy, not because I had it all figured out, but because I had built a lifestyle that allowed me to feel this joy, say yes to adventure, and reclaim my own light.

That’s what I want for you.
