WELCOME!
I realize that I have been negligent in welcoming you to this group and in offering you a reason to be here! I promise this is a short lived gap as I intend to be actively present here with you on a regular basis!
I started this group because I know what it's like to be a working Mom struggling to find balance in my head and heart as I navigated giving 100% to both family and career. My daughter is now in her early twenties trying to launch her life (which has been a little challenging during a pandemic) and so, I still find myself feeling the struggle to balance mothering (I am grateful to have a close, respectful relationship with her) with focusing on my career for the next 20 years of my life! Guilt when I'm working and not available to her. Anxiety when I'm not being "productive" on the work front. I try to acknowledge this constant struggle for balance and try to be mindful that both roles are equally important and need their uninterrupted time.
What is your experience of this dance?
