It's likely you're also frustrated by the endless expectations placed on mothers to have everything under control, from work to home life to raising well-adjusted children.

As a working mother of two young boys, I've learned that perfection is an illusion. Over the past five years, I've discovered that my children can thrive even when I don't have everything figured out.

Society often portrays the ideal mother as one who efficiently balances career and family, with a spotless home and flawlessly behaved children. But this unrealistic standard leaves many working moms feeling inadequate and overwhelmed.

Motherhood is a mission of trial and error. The mistakes we make along the way are opportunities for growth, not reasons for self-blame.

Recent studies have shown that children of working mothers are just as well-adjusted as those with stay-at-home moms. In fact, daughters of working moms tend to have more successful careers themselves. (Harvard Research Study)

It's time to let go of the guilt and embrace the imperfect reality of being a working mother. By reflecting on our experiences and making small adjustments, we can become the best possible parents for our children.

As I approach my 40th birthday, I realize that the next decade is crucial. Not only do I need to prepare for retirement, but I also have a limited time to make a lasting impact on my children's lives.

The memories we create and the daily interactions we have with our kids during these formative years will shape their future selves. It's never too late to reassess our priorities and make positive changes.

Here, I'll share my personal journey as a working mother, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way.
