Erica Diamond is a busy woman. She’s a mom, blogger, and speaker. Sometimes, the three roles combined can be a lot to handle.
According to Global Saskatoon, her journey began in 1999. That is when she was 24 and started her own business.
But then, in 2009, she was inspired to launch a blog, called “Women on the Fenceâ€.
The Montrealer wanted to motivate women to make changes in their lives – changes that would help them find happiness.
The hobby quickly took off – and became her full-time job.
What she loves most is that blogging gives her the flexibility to spend more time with her kids.
“When Andrew walks through the door at 4:30, I like to be there and unplug and be there for them,†she said.
But like many other moms, each day, is a constant juggle – driving the kids to school, picking them up from hockey, and managing professional obligations.
“The toughest hours of my day are usually 4-7,†she said. “That, for me, is the bewitching hour. It’s trying to get homework done, dinner ready, and get everyone organized.â€
Diamond insists her secret to success is her strong support system – which includes great friends, family and a full-time nanny.
“I couldn’t have done it all these years without her,†she said.
