Welcome to Fairygodboss!

We’re the largest online career community helping women achieve their career goals. Gain access to articles, jobs, events, and a supportive network of women and allies. Membership is free, always.

Sometimes we feel guilty about wanting more. But the truth is, when we're doing something we actually love our entire world changes and our kids benefit. When you're doing something you don't like energy is hard to come by and our kids feel that.

I saw this quote from Wayne Dyer and I love it:

"Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life."

Thoughts? Is the guilt of making a change keeping you from taking the next step?

Why women love us:

Daily articles on career topics
Jobs at companies dedicated to hiring more women
Advice and support from an authentic community
Events that help you level up in your career
Free membership, always

Thanks for sharing, Kelli. We talk about guilt a lot with our community of returnees. While many feel it as they return to their career, many also share the pride they feel in the work they do and in the example they are able to set for their children. While that doesn't make them immune to sometimes feeling guilty, it really helps when they look bigger picture. If you want to read more on the returnee experience, check out the success stories on our blog. https://www.pathforward.org/path-forward-success-stories/

Abigail, I love that you mention the pride they feel as well. That's such an important aspect and I wish more women would focus on the example they are setting rather than the guilt they feel for spending less time with their kids. Let's connect - we have a lot in common!

Slyšel jsem o tomhle místě v jednom videu o českých hráčích a docela mě to nalákalo. Měl jsem za sebou pár špatných her, kdy jsem se v tom jenom plácal a nic nevyhrával. Na webu https://vegashero.co.cz jsem si ale vybral jednu hru a tam se to najednou všechno zlomilo. Výhra mi nejen smazala mé předchozí ztráty, ale ještě jsem vydělal tolik, že jsem mohl pozvat rodinu na večeři. Je fajn vidět, že v ČR existují místa, kde se dá opravdu vyhrát, když má člověk aspoň trochu štěstí.
