Description

Motherhood is a full-time job. So is catapulting your career. You may be wondering..."Can one really do both well?" I know of so many women who struggle with this question. And as a mom to 2 small children, including a 5-month old who is currently resisting being bottle fed, I get it. It is hard. Perhaps the hardest thing you will ever do. In the throes of sleepless nights with your infant, making 3 variations of dinners to accommodate each picky eater, or chauffeuring your kids to sports games on weekends... You may wonder if career growth is even important. You may think to yourself, "I already make a good living. What if I just hang out at my current level?" And there is no wrong answer. Whatever you decide for your life is the right answer. Here's mine. I truly believe that motherhood is one of, but not the only role I get to play in my life. I believe that my ambitions and goals do not die on the vine because I am a mom. I believe the desires I have to grow myself professionally are God-given desires. And I believe that when I am fulfilled professionally, everyone else around me wins. I often imagine myself at the end of my life at the proverbial pearly gates being asked to give account for how I lived. To say, "Well, I was going to do more, but I couldn't because of my children??" Something about that doesn't sit well with me. Because to whom much is given, much is expected. That said, how does one do this successfully? If you were going to be mom and SVP making $500K... What would that need to look like in order for it to work? In this episode of The Career Catapult Podcast, I share 5 lessons I have been relearning in this season of life that help me create harmony in my career and motherhood. Take a listen.
