As is the topic of conversation of late, women everywhere are a bit miffed by some recent “events” in the world. Whatever your opinion, the fact is that as a working mother in business I find myself faced with a few unique obstacles, but one thing we can all say we definitely share in common is resilience and grit. These qualities are something to be proud of and something we probably don’t credit ourselves with enough. So here’s to the working mother never settling for less than her best. To finding the very best version of you! Here’s for finding all 24 hours of every day and making them count – whether that be for your family, your job, your hobbies or hopefully all three.
