This is how it all started…
I thought I could handle it all. Nothing could put me down. Until motherhood happened. Not planned, but often thought of. I found myself questioning a lot about who I was before or who I was presently. At 32, I felt like I had achieved what I had set myself to achieve. I was an RN, married to my best friend, living and working in the USA. The dream life from my perspective at that time. Then motherhood happened and this changed my perspective on a lot of things, success and ambition included. Success in my new era suddenly became about living a fulfilled, balanced and present life amidst all the beautiful chaos. Motherhood challenged me on more ways than one and brought out the version of me I was yet to fully embrace. A version of myself that every woman needs to meet in themselves whether they are mothers or not. Living abroad and with my husband as support, away from our families opened up an emotional door I had not seen before and for the first time I found myself in doubt and fear. This here is a space I create to remind all mamas that it can be done, in whatever aspect you see fit.
