Between the Flags at Bondi Beach

This is for the moms who want to be entrepreneurs

Bondi Beach, Anniversary Trip, October 2018

Full disclosure: I’ve lived my entire life in a land-locked state, so when we visited Bondi Beach, I had to google what “between the flags” meant.

The red and yellow flags — you can see a tiny one near the bottom of the above photo — mark the area patrolled by lifeguards. They are the safest place to swim at the beach.

We, as moms and entrepreneurs, often build our businesses between school drop-offs and school pick-ups.

Thinking of that, I flashed on Bondi Beach, to our 2018 trip. I imagined myself swimming outside of the safety zone, gigantic waves crashing on me and pulling me under the water. There’s probably something Freudian in that.

I’m not that strong of a swimmer in the first place. The waves — and sharks! — are intimidating. It’s no problem to comply.
