If you’re a working mom, you have no doubt felt guilt at some point.
Guilt over not being with your kids enough.
Guilt over needing to leave work early for a sick child.
Guilt over forgetting something for school or work because you have a million things on your to-do list.
Blessing Adesiyan is the Founder and CEO of Mother Honestly, a platform that supports moms looking to live their best lives in the workplace and at home and she joins me today to discuss working motherhood, guilt, and success.
We’re talking all about what mothering honestly means, why it’s important to make parenting out loud the norm, and why we need to redefine what success means. We also discuss how Mother Honestly is helping individual moms to build happier careers and happier homes (because these are not mutually exclusive!) and how they are helping organizations support mothers during this season of life to cultivate a sense of loyalty and engagement from employees.
