Welcome to The In-Betweens!

Hey, my lovely! 🌸

I’m so excited to have you here in my little corner of the internet. You might be wondering what The In-Betweens is all about. Well, it's where I get real about this crazy, wonderful, messy space between where I dream my life would be and where it actually is right now. You know what I mean, right? It’s that in-between space where you’re juggling everything, trying to live your best life, while sometimes just surviving the day.

So, let me introduce myself. I’m a 29-year-old mom of two beautiful kiddos—a curious 4-year-old and a snuggly newborn—who keep me on my toes. I’m also a wife to my best friend and the absolute BEST dad in the world (he'll probably side-eye me after reading this, but oh well...) Oh, and when I’m not playing supermom or hunting for the last bit of caffeine, I’m a civil engineer and part-time lecturer. Yup, life is full, and sometimes a little chaotic.

But wait, there’s more! I’m passionate about all things creative, like podcasting, making videos, designing graphics, and just connecting with people (you’ll figure that out soon). I love having deep conversations but can totally geek out over materials science and structural engineering one minute, then chat about the joys and chaos of motherhood the next.

The In-Betweens is all about the space we live in between our goals and our reality, between ambition and rest, between the chaos of family life and those rare moments of calm. I’ll be sharing my thoughts, struggles, wins, and maybe a few funny stories along the way. Hopefully, it’ll remind you that you’re not alone in your own in-between moments.

But this isn't just about me—I'd love to hear about you! Whether you’re a fellow mama, an ambitious soul chasing your dreams, or just someone who's navigating their own "in-between" phase, drop a comment or share a little about yourself. Let’s create a space where we can uplift and inspire each other.

Grab a cup of tea (or wine, or tequila - hey, no judgment!), make yourself comfy, and let's dive into this journey together. 🩷

With love,  

Your girl from The In-Betweens 🌿


P.S. What's your current "in-between" moment? 

Let's chat in the comments!

    Currently in between chasing my dream and getting set backs and wondering if this is really what I want because it's so tiring getting your hopes high only to feel let down

      I feel you :( Don't despair my love. Sometimes life throws curveballs and setbacks but keep your eyes on your goals. It will all be worth it in the end

    So excited about this blog. Current in-between is balancing work/career/dream and being the parent I want to be. Counting my blessings while aspiring for that goal.

The Bootcamp Launch: Wins, Lessons, and What’s Next

It’s the morning after the very first MomUnity Bootcamp, and let me tell you—I am still riding the high! The energy, the vibe, the sheer determination of the all the superstars who showed up despite the rain trying to humble us? Nothing short of electric. It’s Sunday morning. Hubby and the boys are still knocked out, but I’ve been up since 4 AM, fueled by excitement, SORE MUSCLES, and the burning desire to capture every bit of this experience before the chaos of the busiest week ever begins. The Wins: More Than Just a Workout We did it! After weeks of planning, reaching out, and spreading the word, the first-ever MomUnity Bootcamp came to life—and it was nothing short of magic. Seeing everyone from all backgrounds come together, sweating, laughing, and pushing past their limits was a reminder of why I started this in the first place. We had new moms, old moms, twin moms, students, colleagues, champs with little feet and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN! The turnout? Better than I could have ...

The Art of Not Losing Your ****** Mind

If there were an award for surviving an impossibly hectic week without completely spiraling, I’d like to think I’d be in the running—barely, but still. Between academia, a five-month-old deciding that sleep is an optional luxury, and life demanding I show up in all the ways, I have had to pull from reserves I did not know existed. Academia in Overdrive: The Balancing Act Last week was academic chaos. Between in-person lectures, assignments, tests and trying to wrap my head around coursework that refuses to be simple, I found myself drowning in readings and deadlines while also attempting to function as a sane human being. Spoiler: The sane part? Questionable. There were moments when I stared blankly at my laptop screen, willing it to magically complete my work for me. And when that didn’t happen (because, obviously), I had to power through—often with a baby strapped to my chest because, of course, he decided this was the perfect time to stage a sleep rebellion.

Running on Fumes & Hope: A Mom’s Guide to Surviving the Busiest Week Ever

  At this point, I don’t even know how I’m still alive. It’s been one of those weeks—the kind that makes you question if time is real or if we’ve all just been living the same chaotic Monday on repeat. The clock just struck midnight on Friday morning and I'm not too sure whether to call it a night or aluta-continua? Both my kids are sick (because why wouldn’t they time their immune system meltdowns perfectly?), I have deadlines flying at me every 48 hours like heat-seeking missiles, and my daily classes are a blur of words that I think are English but might actually be gibberish at this point. My brain? Completely unresponsive. My body? Moving purely out of muscle memory. My spirit? Somewhere hovering over my body, watching the madness unfold like a reality show. The Art of Mom Survival Each morning, I wake up with a pep talk that sounds something like: You got this. You are strong. You are capable. And by 10 AM, I’m bargaining with the universe: Okay but what if I just lie d...
