Taking the Plunge- A Career Driven Moment

I’ve always been ambitious. Not in the ruthless way that you see in Hollywood’s depiction of corporate life! Career driven and ambitious, nonetheless! I have decided to take a career break to spend time with my two lovely daughters. Covid-19 working from home meant that I was torn between many things, and primarily my children. I enjoyed spending time with them and having lunches with them, I enjoyed working on my laptop whilst they played in the amazing sunshine that we have been so fortunate to have. However, I also felt challenged when they needed my attention, when school work started to slip due to regular meetings in the diary and we had to catch up at weekends, when they really wanted to go on the daily allocation of exercise a day and would ask me to go to a family walk and I knew I had a meeting in 30 minutes. I was agile and managed so much by working early mornings before they woke up and late evenings, but I realised that the ‘me’ they were getting was so limited and would one day not be a positive experience anymore. So I took the plunge, I decided to pause my career and enjoy the time with my girls. This is my blog to share these moments with all of you. Thanks for reading!

A career break is something I never thought I would do. Please join me in my transition journey from being a career-woman mum to a full time mum to my two lovely girls. It is helping me to compare business practice with the way we do things in family life.
