A full-time career mom of two kids. I’ve experienced all of the stressful moments of early parenthood while trying to work a full-time job. I know what it’s like to be an overwhelmed mom and have to choose between excelling at work and tending to your family’s needs- all while trying to figure out when to make time for yourself.
