ASKING FOR HELP!

Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?

Like you’re:
‣ Struggling to get your partner’s support at home?
‣ Feeling disconnected in your marriage or like you’re solo parenting?
‣ Overwhelmed by the mental load of juggling home life, kids, and work?
‣ Feeling guilty for not being fully present with your kids because life keeps pulling you away?
‣ Navigating marital tension and worrying about how it might be affecting your kids?

If you nodded along to any of this, I’d love to chat. 💛

I’m working on something close to my heart—a program to support moms of little ones who are ambitious, purpose-driven, and building their careers or businesses while navigating motherhood, marriage, and home life.

But I need your help.

I’m looking to interview moms like you to better understand what you’re feeling and what kind of support would be most helpful. This is purely for research—not a sales call.

If you’re open to hopping on a quick 30-minute call (via Zoom), it would mean the world to me. Or, if you know someone who might relate to this, please tag them below or introduce us! 💕

Comment below the word "research" and I’ll send you a private message to set it up.

Can’t wait to connect with you! ✨

PS: This is NOT a sales call. It’s just a chance for me to listen and learn. And I’ve opened up morning and evening times to make it as convenient as possible.

I wasted a lot of time and brainpower waiting for my husband to take the initiative:

🍴 To figure out dinner.
⏰ To know bedtime starts at 7 PM.
🧺 To notice the pile of laundry waiting to be folded.

I’d wait, hoping he’d magically connect the dots—that the more he helped, the less stressed and overwhelmed I’d feel.

But then it hit me: waiting for my husband to change was setting us both up for failure.

So, I shifted my focus:
🤔 How can I be different?
🤔 What can I do to make things better?
🤔 How can I focus on what’s in my control?

I realized I had more power than I thought. When I stopped waiting and started taking action—creating a family calendar, booking a marriage coach, and setting up systems—everything changed. It didn’t just help me; it helped all of us.

Here’s the truth: I’m naturally organized, strategic, and detail-oriented. Those are my superpowers. Expecting my husband to suddenly develop those skills—or just waiting—wasn’t fair to either of us.

By embracing my strengths, I let go of the “why do I have to be the one?” mindset. That wasn’t serving me, my marriage, or my family.

If this resonates—if you’re frustrated or feeling stuck—you’re not alone. Most couples go through this. But I know you’re not looking for average. You want to be real-life partners–a power couple. And you're right for wanting that.

But that starts with you making the changes you want to see.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re at capacity and need help creating a game plan, I’m here for you.

Together, we’ll build a team dynamic where:
✨ Chores are shared fairly.
✨ The mental load isn’t all on you.
✨ Your partner knows exactly what to do to step in and follow through.

DM me "Coach" if you’re ready to explore how we can make this happen in your relationship. 💛

How I Create Margin in My Life

I create margin.

It’s that simple.

But simple doesn’t mean easy. Let’s be real—between getting the kids ready for school, sorting through the clothes they’ve outgrown, keeping up with work, scheduling doctor’s appointments, and all the million other things we juggle, it’s a constant battle.

What makes it easier? 🙇🏽‍♀️ I’ve already decided on the kind of wife and mom I want to be, and I refuse to compromise that.

Because I’m committed to being the wife and mom I want to be, I know what that requires of me. My relationship with my husband and my kids comes first, period. Everything else—work, chores, obligations—gets built around that. It’s non-negotiable.

Here’s the truth: Stop waiting for life to magically create space for your relationships. It won’t. Life will keep “life-ing,” and if you don’t make margin now—when the issues feel small—you’ll be forced to deal with them later when they’re a big deal. And let me tell you, fixing things at a “10” is so much harder than addressing them at a “3.”

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, like work and life are swallowing your relationships whole, let’s fix it. DM me “coach” and let’s create the margin you need to thrive—individually and as a family. 💕

20/11/2024

I thought my husband and I would be an amazing team from the start—we loved each other, made each other laugh, and had the best friendship. 💕

But right after our honeymoon, the stuff we never imagined fighting about—the trash, the dishes, the laundry—became front and center in our arguments. 😅

Here’s the thing: building a marriage and a true partnership takes skills. But most of us don’t get the time or tools to figure it out. It’s wedding → honeymoon → back to the grind… with no conversations about roles or teamwork.

This is why so many moms feel stressed. Without a solid partnership, adding kids only raises the stakes.

Here’s where you can start:
✨ Define what partnership looks like for your marriage. Get specific—what tasks can your partner take on in the mornings, evenings, and weekends?
✨ Schedule a team meeting. Create space to share appreciation, express your feelings, and make clear, actionable requests.
✨ Work on teamwork weekly. Find what’s causing friction in your routines, create a plan, communicate, test it, and adjust.

Partnership is a skill—it evolves as life changes.

The goal? Work smarter together so there’s margin to refill your cup individually and as a couple. When you thrive, your kids thrive. 💕

If I could gift any parent a superpower, it would be the ability to navigate transitions as a team. 💪✨

Marriage and parenting are true team sports. Even if one of you is the main financial provider, both of you are equally needed. In today’s world, it’s easy for dads to be left out—from baby showers to mom groups, it often feels like the parenting playbook is written for just one. But I’ll say it again: No baby gadget, no toy, no activity can ever nourish your child’s development as much as the relationship they see between you two. That’s the foundation.

I know life gets busy—work, kids, household chaos—it can feel like working on your marriage is a luxury for those with too much time. But it’s quite the opposite. When you become a parent, the stakes are higher, and the need for teamwork is even greater.

In my latest YouTube video, I share 4 strategies to help couples navigate big transitions together—whether you’re becoming parents, moving, or going through a career change. I believe it’s going to help a lot of families move from playing defense to offense in their partnership.

Drop “Youtube” in the comments, and I’ll send you the link to watch! And if you know someone going through a big life change, pass it on. 💛

Do you know what happens when we just go with the flow and wait for spontaneous moments? They never happen. Waiting for the kids to get older is an illusion. Relationships are living, breathing things that need to be nurtured and watered – NOW. The time will never be perfect. There will never be white space automatically on the calendar. There will always be an email to respond to, a child to play with, or a pile of laundry to fold. Make the decision today that your relationship is non-negotiable. You'll be surprised at what happens when you decide to have an awesome marriage... Life together feels lighter. Less lonely. More full.

If your relationship feels hard, here's something to consider: maybe it's because you're trying to live life individually while being married. It just doesn't work.

Yes, we can divide and conquer and need to tag team, but it must be under the same shared mission, mindset, and direction.

What’s one little thing you can do today to nurture your relationship?

🤣 Just another day negotiating with our 3-year-old daughter to take one more photo.

Cami: "You get one more."

Me: "I'll take it."

Toddlers really are the best negotiators. I'm learning so much about sales, marketing, and negotiation just from her. 🙃

Got a little negotiator at home too? Tell me one of their funniest strategies in the comments!

Julian and I are stepping into a new season, and part of our rhythm includes day dates where we can talk through what this season will look like, anticipate challenges, and develop strategies and systems to set us up for success.🚀

Becoming parents of two means leveling up individually and as a couple, so we can be the best for our kids.

Our goal is for our kids to witness a healthy, loving, unshakeable marriage, and want to model it. The stakes are higher than ever, and we're praying for God's wisdom every step of the way.

Parenthood is a humbling journey where we have the opportunity to learn and grow alongside our children. With Liam Giancarlo, I'm gaining insight into what real strength looks like. The meaning of his name, "helmet of will," "protection," and strong-willed, led me to expect a different temperament.

Yet, it's fascinating to see Liam's sweet, gentle spirit.💙

Liam also remains calm amidst the storm (including his sister's tantrums 😂) and adapts easily to different environments. He can fall asleep on me, in the car, or at the park without any sleep training.

As his mom, I'm witnessing firsthand the embodiment of strength and strong will in him in a whole new way I hadn't considered before.

This boy, at just 3 months, is already teaching me so much — being strong doesn't necessarily mean being the loudest, the strongest, or the toughest, but rather remaining grounded, determined, and regulating oneself despite what's going on around them.

For all the parents out there, I'd love to hear about the valuable lessons your child is teaching you at the moment. 🧠

What has allowed Julian and me to stay connected as we navigate the transition of being parents is our strategic approach to tag-teaming. You might wonder how one thing relates to the other. 🤔

I had a very tough pregnancy—not just in my first trimester but literally the whole time. When I was going through nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and nearly every symptom listed on the pregnancy app tracker, how could I find the bandwidth to work on my marriage?
But as we tagged team more, becoming intentional about sharing the household load and parenting responsibilities, I started to feel lighter. 🍃The more he learned to handle tasks around the house and stuck to the household management systems, the more I could be the fun, lively Sayuri he fell in love with.

Working together around the house might not seem like the most romantic or sexy thing, 😆 but sometimes you don't need a big vacation or a grand date night—sometimes you just need someone who sees you, who follows through on their promises, so you can ease your mind. 🧠

I just wanted to share this in case you're feeling overwhelmed by the mental load and exhausted from day-to-day responsibilities.
Remember, you're a team. Tag team together because together, you can go further and find real fulfillment, joy, and love along the way! ❤️

How Julian and I tag-teamed during our second pregnancy 🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♂️

During my first pregnancy, Julian worked from home, and due to the pandemic, we were always together since we were in lockdown. He drove me to every midwife appointment and was by my side through the nausea, vomiting, and insomnia.

The second pregnancy, however, was very different. Julian had started a new full-time job outside of the home, and taking time off for prenatal appointments just wasn't feasible.

Despite these differences, I still felt his support throughout each trimester. Today, I want to share three things we did to set ourselves up for success this time around: ✨

🤔 Predict: Since this wasn't my first pregnancy, we could predict how hard it would be for me to go through the first trimester without him being home. Predicting how it could look allowed us to proactively prepare a plan to ensure I still had the support I needed.

🔍 Define: We clearly defined Julian's role of support in a way that was sustainable for both of us.

He took on most of the load of the morning routine with Camila—learning how to style her hair, preparing her lunchbox, and blow-drying her hair at night.

He also took the lead on weekends.

It helped us to accept the reality that even if tag-teaming this season would look differently, we both were still a team and there were still ways for us to contribute and support each other.

🔗 Check-in: Each trimester, we had a check-in to plan and prepare for any upcoming projects.

We also had mini-check-ins on Sundays, either on our way to church or during Camila's naptime. These regular check-ins gave us the space to debrief the week, discuss what worked and what didn't, review our calendars, and set a new plan for the upcoming week.

To all the parents out there, how did you and your partner tag-team during your pregnancy? And for those of you who are not parents yet but might be soon, 🙊 keep this post saved so you can refer back to it when you're pregnant!

🌿 Throughout my second pregnancy, I found myself asking the same question over and over again: how can I create more space for when my son is born?

Before becoming pregnant with him, I was already a mom of a toddler, and dealing with toddlerhood with just one child is already enough to keep you busy! If you're a parent, you know!

What about being a wife? Supporting Julian as he builds his career, making sure that I'm there to encourage him, and that we're keeping the fun 🎡 as we navigate life.

And as an entrepreneur, how can I be strategic in my business and continue to move the mission forward in a sustainable way that fits the life I want?

Thinking of creating space allowed me to look at every hat I was wearing, intentionally deciding which hats were non-negotiable, and making peace knowing that I wouldn't be able to be as active in other roles I took in the past.

⏸️ This meant taking a sabbatical from serving at church.

⏸️ It meant saying no to baby showers, birthdays, etc.

⏸️ It meant looking at how we were managing the home—our morning and nighttime routines, and how chores were getting done.

And now that Liam is 3 months old, I have to say, it has been very good.

God is a God of order, and when you look at how he was as a creator, he focused on one thing at a time.

This focused attention gave him the ability to do his best at each thing he created so that, in the end, he was pleased with his decision and his creation.

In the same way, the Chacons are now a family of 4 (or 5 with Noah 🐾) and because we took our time to create space individually and together as a family, we can truly look at this new season of newborn stage and postpartum as being a true blessing.

So I wanted to share this with anyone who's feeling pressured to keep up. What's for you, no one will take away from you.

If you need to take a sabbatical from a role you've been taking on for a season, do it. Whether it means not being at social events or on social media.

Would you "lose some engagement"? Perhaps.

But think of the engagement you'll be gaining in real life.

Choose to show up where matters most first. You deserve to live a full life, and for that, you need space.
