When I was working all day, away from home, I did it because I needed to. But I really loved my job. I loved the emotional high of being such an expert, guiding clients on business and brand strategy, managing client expectations and team expectations. In a way it’s like a form of parenthood where you watch a toddler grow into a little girl or boy – and eventually a teenager.
Even through two pregnancies and agonizing over leaving my children to someone else’s care, I still loved my work.
Now that I am mostly full time parenting (and working fiercely on Covert leadership), I am falling out of love with the career woman I was yesterday and in love with being at home with my children while working on Projects X, Y and Z.
Let’s just say that the job interview today was ill-timed. My heart wasn’t into it.
