From Neighborhoods to Motherhood
The other day we redid our team photos since we welcomed our new team member, Kara. As most of you know now, I am about 5 months pregnant and the idea of having a business photo with a huge belly terrified me to the point where I had to pose extremely awkward to be able to photoshop my growing belly out of the shot. Honestly, I feel ridiculous in the photo to the left.
I have this fear that if people know I am pregnant they won’t take me serious in business. Unfortunately, I know a lot of women who feel the same way.
At the end of the day I have realized that being a mother has bettered me professionally. I have never been more focused or more determined. I now have two different reasons to wake up every morning. I want to be better not only for myself, husband and my team but these two little humans that will watch my every move. I want to be better for you, for me, for them. This message is me facing my fears. I hope I can inspire you to do the same.
