Women like to think we can do and have it all - until we have kids and realize: we actually can’t. While we might be able to compete in the business world - while still juggling a household, a relationship and the needs of our children - the threshold of what is thought to be “a good mother” is unattainable. Chasing perfection in a job we literally take on from one second to another, most of us feel like failures at some point. However, by admitting this and addressing it openly, we can take pressure off ourselves and each other. This is what I have been doing with Any Working Mom for the past two years, slowly trying to change the expectations we put on ourselves when we enter “Motherhood” and giving thousands of women their sanity and confidence back.
