I posted this earlier in the year, but thought it was important again to post... especially after the kids have just gone back to school after a hectic half term!
Becoming a mum didn’t change my goals, my purpose, or the dreams I had for myself. It simply changed the pace.
Building a business while raising children is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Some days feel productive, other days feel like pure survival. I get imposter syndrome weekly and the balance isn’t perfect. Guilt can be heavy on both sides, often when it feels like you're missing part of their childhood while spinning 500 plates on the work front. This is especially present in the current climate, a world that still questions ambitious mums and our purpose in society (feels like we are going backwards in time doesn't it?!).
But I want my girls to grow up seeing that women are allowed to love their families deeply and still build something meaningful for themselves.
That hard work and resilience pays off. I want them to see that motherhood and ambition are not opposites, they can coexist.
So if you’re a working mum, business owner, entrepreneur, or ambitious mum trying to juggle both a career and raising tiny humans, then this is your reminder that YOUR dreams still matter too.
I see you. Keep going.
This month, in the lead up to Christmas, I want to help showcase women in business... so tag a mum friend, a cool women led brand or someone you admire, and I'll give them a shout out.
