Is it Harder to Climb the Corporate Ladder or Start a Business?
I remember feeling burnt out, frustrated, and trapped. My confidence was tied to my compensation. So twisted. I’m not sure when my job became my life, but there was no separation.
But then again, there was no future either. Was there? Where is it leading? One minute I loved it and saw myself as a big deal in my company and industry, but then I didn’t. Was it me? Was it them? Was it becoming a mom?
I wasn’t sure, but I didn’t have time to contemplate it. I barely had time for anything.

If you know what I’m talking about and are yearning for a different outcome…
If the path you’re on feels unsustainable and unfulfilling…
If you don’t want to wait until your babies are grown to put them at the top of your list…
