Serena Williams is no stranger to stealing the spotlight. Whether she’s dominating on the tennis court, dazzling at high-profile events, or building her business empire, the GOAT does it all with unmatched finesse. But even for someone as extraordinary as Serena, there are days when the juggle between work and motherhood can feel, a little too real. In a refreshingly candid moment, Serena gave her fans a sneak peek into her not-so-glamorous Monday routine—and let’s just say, it was a whirlwind!

The former American tennis sensation took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself. Williams can be seen lying on a wooden table, looking similar to a conference table, with her legs on the chairs as she looks evidently exhausted. She was also seen wearing a headset connected to her mobile phone. While her words were not clearly audible in the video, her confession along with the video made her feelings clear. 

Captioning the post, Williams reflected on her Monday routine and highlighted how daunting it was for her. “My Monday-I was so tired & this was the best I could do. Some days your best may not look as pretty as other days, but running an active beauty brand (@wyn) running after 2 girls, and a VC company (@serena.ventures) lets just say I was exhausted and quite delirious. How was your Monday?” Indeed! Multitasking on different fronts that are extremely different from each other can be quite challenging for many.

Remember, the tennis pro started Serena Ventures, a venture capital fund, in 2014 with the aim to support women and founders from underrepresented groups. Besides, she started her make-up brand WYN Beauty in April of this year and it seems like managing both endeavors is becoming quite a task for her. Besides, her responsibilities as a mother of two daughters, Olympia and Adira, are definitely adding to her grueling schedule. This, however, is not the first time when Williams has highlighted how exhausting her life becomes at times amidst the multiple tasks that she is discharging. 

Taking to X in February this year, the former star tennis star made an honest revelation about not being able to find time for herself. “I need to spend a day in the bed relaxing…. focusing on Serena Time,” she wrote. But amidst the challenging moments, Serena Williams seems to be relying on her adorable daughters for some cherishing moments, as hinted by her social media posts lately.
