Karissa Pfeffer

I am a foodie, yogi, lover and Detroiter. I am passionate about everything I do. I live by the 80/20 rule to try to eat healthy and take care of my body. I have learned that you can’t always control everything and 20% of the time I let go. I hope to be an inspiration to anyone who comes to my site. See the About Me section for more information. Namaste! Karissa

She is wise beyond her 6 years! But real talk - y

She is wise beyond her 6 years!

But real talk - yes my 6 year old knows about periods. I have explained to her in a child way what happens to our bodies. She knows already she will have them when she gets older.

Talking about our bodies and what happens to them shouldn’t be taboo. Our girls shouldn’t be shocked when they are teenagers. I am educating myself about my body more now in my 40’s than ever before. I wish I had been armed with this info decades ago.

My daughter isn’t going to just know that she gets a period because she’s not pregnant. She is going to understand her body is going to go thru a wave of emotions due to her hormones. I am going to teach her so she doesn’t have to feel like something is wrong with her.

So mothers let’s do better by our children. Let’s not let them grow up being embarrassed by their body and the changes it goes thru. And if you are looking for a great read about this I HIGHLY suggest the book Period Power.

Did you grow up knowing about periods and what your body would go thru?

And they wonder why moms burn out and dads don’t

And they wonder why moms burn out and dads don’t….school lunches, breakfasts, homework folders, field trip forms, birthday parties (remembering them AND planning the gift), recitals, dance practice, school pictures, making sure everything is ok while we are gone, and the list goes on and on. Also when do I get my lap back??

I am still a recovering PRODUCTIVE person. I have

I am still a recovering PRODUCTIVE person. I have had a job in some capacity since I was 10. I have always known hard work ethic. I have always known putting 110% into whatever I do. But most of that time was 110% to someone else. Usually a corporation.

Last year when I left my corporate job I didn’t have a plan. I didn’t know what was next. I had some ideas but wasn’t sure. For a risk averse finance girl it was a little scary. Not knowing how I would make an income was a foreign thing to me.

I still don’t have it all figured out. And sometimes on a random “work day” if I go outside and do something I want to be doing I feel guilty. I still have that lingering sensation that I was accustomed to that “there are more important things” to be done. But then I remember now I’m my own boss. And I am allowed to do the things that make me happy. My time is for me, not a company anymore. And in those moments I am reminded that I did the right thing - I finally am putting myself first.

I remember being in an elevator with someone befor

I remember being in an elevator with someone before and they asked “Karissa how do you manage to do it all?”. I laughed. Like a genuine laugh. My answer was “Oh trust me I don’t”.

The reality at the time was this - I had a successful corporate office job. I was GREAT at it. So great that I had a seat at THE table. The C suite table. They all knew me. Some would text me. I would get added to last minute important meetings frequently. I felt important. I added value to our company.

But everything else was slipping thru the cracks. I felt like a shitty mom. I was for sure a crappy wife. I wasn’t doing much for my mental health. I didn’t “have” time for things that truly mattered to me. But I had a good job with a seat at the table.

It took me five years to realize that wasn’t enough. I could continue to go at the pace I was and probably burn out. I could continue to let relationships be second to my job. Or I could pivot. Like a HARD 90 degree pivot. So I did.

My seat at the table looks different these days. I have a seat at the dinner table. I am present when my daughter comes home from school. We play almost every day. I have time to do what’s important to ME now.

My texts don’t go off all hours after work. I don’t have stress about weekend emails. I don’t get the Sunday Scaries anymore. I feel lighter.

Some days I miss the chaos. I miss using my brain. I miss executing high level strategy. I miss a seat at that old table. But I wouldn’t trade this new life for anything in the world. Because my daughter would never have cared who I was working with. She would only remember her mom not being around at dinner time. And that would have devestated me.

So to every parent out there that looks like they have their sh!t together but are barely holding on by a thread - I see you. I was you. There is at least comfort in having a community of us!

I have had many titles over my life. College stude

I have had many titles over my life. College student, waitress, bartender, consultant, financial analyst, finance manager, data analyst, data leader and real estate agent. But my most rewarding title is MOM.

In my 20’s I didn’t think I wanted kids, then I got married and struggled to have one. Becoming a mom is not a given. To the moms at heart out there longing to have this title I see you.

To parents of daughters let’s normalize not telling our girls “WHEN you have a baby” and reframe it to “IF you have one”.

To the moms, step moms, single moms, fur moms, bonus moms, women longing to be moms, bereaved moms - I hope today you are celebrated for the beautiful souls that you are.
