One Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Remember Kids Will Be Kids

At Atria's I have SO many incomplete blog posts that it's laughable. They're incomplete because I'll start writing them and then life happens. They're incomplete because in between my inspiration for the post and editing it, I realized that I had a sponsored post to complete. They're incomplete because some national event took precedence. They're incomplete because I realized that we needed milk, eggs, or some other essential and I just forgot about it. There are so many explanations about why they're incomplete that I could devote an entire series of posts to that. Instead, I'd like to share a post from several years ago about how my kids messed up my grandmother's birthday dinner...

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: Being Interviewed for Working Motherhood

Failure isn’t fatal and success isn’t final.”

One of the coolest experiences of my maternity leave was being interviewed by Dr. Portia Jackson for a podcast on Working Motherhood.  I valued the experience because it gave me the opportunity to reflect on some of the things that I have learned as a working mom.  During our conversation, I surprised myself.  I realized that becoming a mother has enhanced my life as a whole, but also my career because it has made me more focused. 

I also realized that effectively balancing the demands of being a working mom has been a series of accomplishments and mistakes.  I am happy to say that I have learned from my mistakes, applied what I have learned and have committed to living by best life.  Participating in this interview gave me an opportunity to share what I have learned and hopefully inspire other working moms.  

The best part of the experience was speaking with Portia, a most delightful host.  Here’s a link to the podcast. 

ENJOY!!!
