Juggling becoming a mum and a career is challenging, keep focused on what is most important to you through this time in your life. It is possible to keep your career progressing forward and be a good mum, but there is a balance to be found. Most of all, don’t dwell in the ‘mum guilt’ that comes with trying to keep a career going, or in the ‘self doubt’ that can creep in as your career takes a back step for a while. As children get older, it does get easier, and you can review your priorities at any point - don’t be afraid of a change in direction, if that’s what is needed to keep you happy through this life-changing and exciting time.
