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!!!
