For Working Moms

whatviclikes.com is a space for working moms like me. I’m Victoria Sandoval, creator of whatviclikes.com and I’ve been microblogging and blogging at various spots around the web for a few years. I decided it was time to find a permanent spot for all of my musings, but more importantly, create a resource for working mothers. whatviclikes.com is that – a place for working mothers to come together and learn how to thrive in the office and at home.

I’m tired of the debate of working moms versus stay at home moms, and the myth that all working moms drudge off to the office every morning feeling SOMUCHGUILT for leaving their children while at work. I’m a better mother BECAUSE I work, and I know there are a lot of others moms out there like me. I work because it fulfills me, and because I want to continue to learn and grow as a person, outside of being someone’s mom.

I’m mama to two sweet kiddos, Samuel (6) and Everly (3). I’ve worked full time outside the home the entire time I’ve been a mother, and I’ve never regretted it. I currently work full time at a Fortune 100 company and am blessed enough to have a flexible schedule that allows for some work at home days, and flexible hours so I can attend school parties and doctor appointments.

When I’m not Mom and outside of my day job, my passion is personal improvement – becoming a better version of myself little by little everyday. I can’t be an amazing mom and productive employee if I’m not happy with who I am and how I live my life. I always have a stack of self-help books piled in my living room, and a never-ending queue of motivational podcasts waiting on my phone. Many of the practices and techniques I’ve learned for changing my mindset and improving how I feel I’ve used to become a better mother and more effective in my career.

I certainly don’t have it all together as a mom, but I’ve caught onto the gimmick and I’m here to tell you – NO mom has it all together. We all want to be the best mom to our children, and for me, that means a fulfilling life, career, AND motherhood.

whatviclikes.com is a place for all moms who want to be better versions of themselves – in the office, in the home, in their own mind. Here you’ll find resources to help you do better and feel better, and to remind you – we’re all in this together!
