If you want to be something, you have to commit yourself to it.
Imagine being a powerhouse in your career, only to have everything shift in an instant. That's exactly what happened to Laurie, an engineer and self-proclaimed 'boss lady', when her company relocated. Suddenly, she found herself at home, spending precious time with her young boys while hunting for a new job. When Laurie finally landed a position over an hour away, she and her husband Dan had to rethink their family dynamics completely.
In this episode of 'Birds In A Tree', Laurie opens up about the trials and triumphs of balancing work and home life. She talks candidly about the struggle to let go of 'mom perfection' and how a few well-timed words from others can offer solace during moments of fear and heartbreak. Laurie's humorous take on parenting—comparing it to an endless laundry pile—adds a light touch to this heartfelt discussion.
If you're a working parent feeling the weight of career transitions and family responsibilities, Laurie's story might just resonate with you.
