MomTraNeur - Mom. Traveler. Entrepreneur. 💞a homeschooling mom ✈️ who loves to travel 👩🏻‍💻and works from anywhere I’m a hyper-tasking mom, sassy traveler, and adventurous, location-independent entrepreneur. All I want ever since is to share my stories to hopefully impact and inspire others to thrive in their lives and not just endure. I’m a lady from the East who makes simple dreams come true — no to 9-5 jobs, wants to always be with my family, likes to explore different places, buy or harvest and roast our very own farm-produced coffee I can brew. I like beach bumming, exploring new places, planting herbs and vegetables, doing homemade soaps and beaded accessories especially when I have the extra time; I used to help out at the farm, now I help manage the resort we own, indulge in tarot reading, meditation, and positive spells, so I can feel sublime. I believe that life is beautiful if we put God at the center and only choose to always see the good. And that there’s always more than enough blessings for everybody including the occasional luxury travels and extravagant food. Moreover, I am a middle-aged Filipina who decided to become a mom in my late 30’s after the failure of my first marriage. I am raising my smart & handsome young son with my guy best friend who became my husband after almost a decade of life partnership. Together we’re doing everything we can to provide a better life for our family, and hopefully change the world little by little as we do our best to live meaningfully. This is my personal journal as a mother, a traveler and an entrepreneur. I believe in second chances at love and at life. I stand for living your true self no matter how hard. Feel free to read my posts (both old and new) hoping I can spark some inspiration in living the best and authentic life for you.

February: The Month I Finally Choose Me

2 Comments

February has always been a special month for me—not just because it’s my birth month, but because it’s a time when I reflect on where I am in life, what I’ve given, what I’ve lost, and what I still need to do for myself. This year, as I turn 47, I am making a conscious decision: I am focusing on me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been generous to a fault. I give—sometimes more than I should. I sacrifice my wants, my needs, my dreams for the people I love. It’s in my nature. But over the years, I’ve learned, through painful lessons and small victories, that boundaries matter. I’ve learned to say no. I’ve learned to delete toxic people from my life. Yet, I still find myself putting others first too often. And the truth is, I haven’t done enough for myself.

2024 LOOK BACK: A Year of Growth, Celebration, and Dreams Taking Shape

1 Comment

As the clock ticks closer to the end of 2024, I can’t help but reflect on what an incredible year it has been for our family. This year wasn’t just about celebrations; it was about growth, stepping out of comfort zones, making bold moves, and seeing long-held dreams start to take shape. And so, as I sit down to reflect on 2024, I feel a mix of emotions. Though the latter part of December saw me struggling with a wave of depression, I now realize it was likely hormonal — my period suddenly arrived after a delay, which made me wonder if I might be entering perimenopause.

It wasn’t just hormones, though. My VA business has grown exponentially this year — I now have 12 clients! On top of that, I juggle multiple roles in our businesses: as co-owner and Chief Marketing Officer of our hotel, restaurant, café, and catering business, all while trying to keep up with the many business and personal development courses I’ve enrolled in. Somewhere along the way, I over-fatigued my already overloaded system.

Thankfully, I have my husband, Hanz, by my side. His unwavering support, his constant reminders to take breaks, and his effort to make sure my “love cup” is always filled to the brim helped me push through. Looking back at all that we’ve accomplished this year, the sadness has lifted. It’s been replaced by a deep sense of gratitude, hope, and joy for every big and small blessing that has come our way.

Here’s a month-by-month look back at the highlights of this unforgettable year. (Note to self: I hope to blog about each of these things in more detail this coming 2025…)
