Finding Balance in Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Balancing motherhood and running a business isn’t easy. As the founder of Kaer, I’ve learned that the key isn’t doing it all. It’s finding balance. Through nature, digital detox, breathwork, and journaling, I’ve discovered ways to recharge while being fully present for my family and my company.

The Reality of Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Some days, it feels like there aren’t enough hours. Emails pile up, deadlines loom, and just when you think you’ve got it under control, your kids needs you at that exact moment. Balancing these two worlds requires more than time management, it demands intention. For years, I struggled to find a way to be present in both roles without feeling stretched too thin. I tried multitasking, late-night work sessions, and endless to-do lists. But in the end, I realized that the secret to balance wasn’t about doing more, it was about prioritizing what truly matters. Practicing What I Preach: Why Kaer Retreats Were Born Kaer didn’t start as a business idea. It started as a personal necessity. I created these retreats because I needed them myself. I knew firsthand the exhaustion that comes from constantly juggling responsibilities. I felt the strain of being pulled in multiple directions, never feeling like I was giving enough to either my family or my business. Through my own search for balance, I discovered the power of disconnecting from technology, immersing in nature, and using mindful practices to regain energy and clarity. That’s why Kaer retreats are designed around these exact principles. They are not just an offering; they are an extension of what helped me reclaim balance in my own life. Nature as a Reset Button One of the most transformative shifts in my life came when I embraced nature as my sanctuary. Spending time outdoors, away from screens, helped me regain clarity, reduce stress, and reconnect with myself. Whether it’s a morning walk, a weekend hike, or simply sitting under a tree while my kids play, nature has become my grounding force. Kaer’s retreats are built on this principle: Nature heals, restores, and helps us find our way back to ourselves. If you feel overwhelmed by work and family life, step outside, even if it’s just for five minutes. The fresh air and stillness can work wonders. Digital Detox: Unplugging to Reconnect I used to believe I needed to be available 24/7 for my business. But constantly checking emails, scrolling through messages, and responding to notifications left me drained. I wasn’t truly present with my family or myself. That’s when I implemented a digital detox routine. I started setting clear tech boundaries: no phones during meals, screen-free Sundays, and unplugging before bedtime. The impact was immediate. My mind felt clearer, my stress levels dropped, and I became more engaged in the moments that truly matter. Statistic: Studies show that 72% of parents feel distracted by their phones when spending time with their children, leading to increased stress and decreased emotional connection.

The Power of Breathwork & Journaling
Breathwork helps me shift from overwhelm to calm in just a few minutes. A few deep, intentional breaths before a meeting or after a chaotic morning can change everything. Journaling offers me space to reflect, process emotions, and gain perspective. Writing down my thoughts in the evening clears my mind and helps me start each day with clarity. Statistic: A study from the University of Rochester found that expressive writing can reduce stress, improve mood, and even enhance problem-solving skills, making it an effective tool for balancing personal and professional demands. These practices are not just self-care; they are tools for resilience. They remind me that I don’t have to have all the answers immediately, I just need to breathe, reflect, and take it one step at a time. Creating Space for What Matters. Balance isn’t about doing it all. It’s about choosing what’s truly important. Some days, my business needs me more. Other days, my family does. And that’s okay. By embracing nature, digital detox, breathwork, and journaling, I’ve found a way to be fully present in both motherhood and entrepreneurship. Without burnout. If you’re looking for ways to reset and recharge, Kaer’s retreats are designed for exactly this. Step away, unplug, and reconnect. Because balance starts with taking care of yourself first.
