Great to meet you! I’m Antonia Cetin.
Have you wondered if there’s MORE to being a mom?
If there’s a better way for you to get through the challenging times or to find the delicate balance between what you need to do and what you want your life to be?
I’ve been there. I’ve felt overwhelmed by demands of caring for my child, of keeping my family healthy, of making decisions that affect my child’s future.
Balancing work and home life challenges the best of us. Keeping track of our time, our money and our stuff consumes our thoughts and makes us feel like we’re just going through motions to get through another day. You’re just surviving what happens to you, wondering if you’re a good mom and doing everything you can for your kids.
It’s great to meet you, my friend. I’m excited to talk with you and work with you to help you achieve the life you want to live, too.
Drawing from experience
Having been a teacher for a couple of decades, I was able to draw on that vast experience with kids in raising my own child. I figured, if women who haven’t had any experience in dealing with children could do it, then so could I. Having gone through some very challenging times in finding that work-life balance, I learned some very helpful strategies and tools to help me get through those times and enjoy my life. These real-life experiences have helped me come to terms with my role as a mother, avail myself of the tools and experiences I have to get through challenges and live a full life where I’m thriving.
In the last few years, I have taken what I learned and decided to follow my dreams and live a life I love. Because I want to share my knowledge and experiences with others, I have become an instructional coach for teachers to help them with the challenges of classroom life; I have started my own home-based business which impacts the health of my friends and family, and helps them to reach their dreams; and, I have realized my dream of taking a sabbatical year to travel and spend more time with my son learning and exploring.
MY
Empowering mothers
Most recently, I have written a parenting book hoping to empower mothers to live with intention and passion and to strive for their own dreams. It is my heartfelt belief that mothers who show their children their own dreams and that they strive for them, encourage their own children to be whole and fulfilled through their own example.
In writing this book, I have talked with mothers from around the world about their struggles and their triumphs collecting advice and strategies to help other mothers. “You’ve Got This, Mom!” explores the tools you have to navigate this crazy modern world and its challenges, and empowers you to embrace your wholeness and to realize you are the perfect mother for your child. Shift your focus away from surviving what’s happening to you. Tease out the blessings of every precious moment. Design the life you love. It’s your time. It’s time to thrive.
