EMPOWERING MOMS TO BECOME UNSTOPPABLE
Becoming a mom is such a special moment in our lives. We get a lot of support for keeping our babies alive and healthy, but we receive minimal support to keep ourselves well. Moms need nurturing too!
Right after having a baby, give or take three months of maternity leave; society expects us to get our act together, regardless of the fact we just pushed a little human out of us. New changes are happening to our bodies, including breastfeeding and hair loss. To top it off, we have a nonrefundable, at least eighteen-year commitment to a co-dependent human who requires twenty-four/seven love and attention and will impact our finances. It’s no wonder moms often lose themselves throughout that journey.
This book is a guide to help moms prevent burnout and connect or reconnect with who they are meant to be in order to become extraordinary in everything they do in the motherhood chapter of their lives.
Hi, I’m Shaw-chin
I’m a proud working mom, passionate about empowering mommy leaders. I founded Pamper Pass, a community to help moms live healthy and happy lives. I’m a full-time technology executive specializing in developing and rapidly scaling innovative digital solutions across industries globally.
Some of my awards include IBM’s Innovation Delivery Excellence Award (IDEA), 40 under 40 with the National Leaders Council, the Dean’s Recognition from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, where I got my MBA, and high honors from the University of California, Berkeley, where I got my BA. Beyond work and motherhood, I’m an avid, cross-format athlete.
Because I was born and raised on the island of American Samoa, I like to stay close to the ocean, residing in sunny San Diego, California, with my daughter and husband.
