I felt that this topic was a very important one to cover for expectant and new mothers. In today's world more women have graduated college, have worked hard on their careers, and have achieved successful and powerful positions, before deciding to embark on having a family.
So what happens when a woman brings this beautiful baby into the world and suddenly her priorities shift. She doesn't feel as fulfilled in her job as she once did, and she instead wants to be with her child full-time? Is it a bad thing for her to want to put her career on hold, to share the first few years of her child's life at home -- providing a strong foundation, and experiencing those precious years, which are so fleeting?
I would say definitely not! And instead, I would applaud any woman that decides to make that transition to a stay-at-home mom. But making the decision to give up their career, which has been their identity most of their adult life, to become known as "mom" can be a tough transition.
But I believe that women today can achieve anything they set out to do, and I applaud this generation of moms who are taking the time to nurture their children. As we are now seeing -- those same women that have decided to take a break from their corporate careers are redefining themselves as moms, and as career women!
Don't allow the fear of the unknown to keep you from following your heart -- because if you follow your heart -- everything will work out for the best! And the benefit of that will ultimately be your child!!
