Lots to say on this fantastic day and IMPORTANT TOPIC! Having been invited to join the panel discussion alongside some of our Moms Unleashed cast, I was thrilled to contribute to the alternate side of the default parenting discussion.
When I had my first two children, I parented them mostly independently while my ex-husband worked and focused on other things. Having been responsible for all the tasks that come with motherhood, I regularly found myself miserable, burnt out and detached.
This time around, I have a supportive hands on partner who believes in parenting our daughter equally (Mind blowing right?). This difference has been one of the biggest and most appreciated things in my life. I have time to enjoy my kids, be fulfilled by my career and I actually respect my partner SOOOOO much more for the role he plays in our children’s lives (also, find me something sexier than a man babywearing… I dare you)
To be invited to speak alongside these incredible women was simply overwhelming.
Lately, I’m starting to speak more on these “crazy feminist” topics, empowering women to take back their lives, their finances, their happiness, etc, and I am always a bit amazed with how I ended up here amongst these authors, influencers and industry leaders. It’s beautiful company to be in and I cannot wait to share the full panel discussions once they’re released.
