HOW IT ALL BEGAN

I came up with the idea for Awayday when I realized a lot of us moms were, quite simply, burnt out. I wanted to offer us a break -- an escape from the myriad everyday responsibilities we have and an opportunity to take time for ourselves in fun, engaging, relaxing, enriching ways.

We have to take time for ourselves if we want to be able to show up for our people.
