Women...YOU can have it all!

As women, I believe we are able to have both a family and a thriving career. There are many reasons women sometimes only choose to focus on one. Amongst those many reasons, is guilt.

I hear many mothers mention that they would love to go back to work, but the guilt of leaving their child keeps them home. Guilt that the child will miss out on having that bond with them, or that the mother will miss out on important growing milestones.

On the other hand, I also hear women speak about their fear that if they have children, it will affect their career and potentially their ability to move up in the company.

When it comes to finding a work life balance, it's important to remember that guilt should never be involved.

This is hard to do. What women need to remember, however, is that our children are resilient. They will cope, even if you're not around 24 hours a day. If you have a demanding work schedule, be there weekends for your kids. Yes it's only 2 days, but those 2 days will be priceless, and a lot will be achieved.

Yes, you may miss out on certain milestones, but even though you may miss the first time, like your child's first step, the next time you see that first step, will be YOUR first time. Their first may not be your first, but you will still have a FIRST.

Being a stay at home mommy, is a full time job. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a full time mom. It is a difficult job, yet extremely rewarding. If you are a full time mom with dreams to also pursue other things, do it! YOU CAN!

Being a boss, or having a demanding career can be stressful. You may feel as though, having a child is out of the question due to your overwhelming timetable. You will be surprised how women can juggle both. Sacrifices will have to be made, but it can be done, so do it! YOU CAN!

Don't feel guilty for wanting to be a boss mommy, or a working mommy. We are capable of anything, and our children are stronger than we think.
