Key points in Balancing Career and Motherhood:
- Don't Settle
If there is one message I could leave for women that are looking to combine career and motherhood is:
I was told too often that "I can't have both."
The "time invested" paradigm is so 20th century! When did raising your kids turn into an all-out war on yourself? We should shift our focus to quality over quantity in all aspects of life, whether work or play.
- Looking in the mirror
When you became a mother, you also got a reality slap from a non-obvious friend - yourself.
When you realize that there is another pair of eyes watching your every move, you become VERY aware of how you treat yourself. What you do will tend to be what your child does as well.
Denisse says,
-The way I look myself at the mirror
-The way I talk to myself when I fail
-The way I take in or push compliments
And it jumpstarted one hell of a journey that I'm still going through until this very day.
