"I’m trying to build something here — not just for me, but for them. Not just for financial security, but so they are able to see the results of hard work."
"It takes a lot of self-work on guilt (as well as the support and kind words of the world’s most fabulous man at my side) to walk myself off of the ledge when I’m having a challenging moment … and yes, sometimes I just want to walk away from the universe and stay home, roast a chicken, and put my babies to bed.
