Balancing motherhood and your career can be a challenge that many women face. It can be tough balancing the act of excelling in your career to support your family and also maintain your independence, but to also feel like you are showing up for your kids and being the best mom.
Many women are faced with with the golden question: Is there such thing as work-life balance?
Can you achieve ultimate boss babe level while also being a great mama?
The short answer … YES.
We asked our boss babe mamas here at The Boutique Hub what are their best tip for balancing motherhood and their career and here’s what they said …
These women are not only amazing career-driven boss babes, but they are also loving and caring mothers, who know the struggle of finding a balance between the two.
“Let your kids see your big ’Why” so they know the purpose of your attention to work. They will be so proud to join in and help you when they know that together you can do big things for others.” – Ashley Alderson, CEO
“Be present. When you’re working, work. When you’re with your family, be with your family.” – Beth Leahy, COO
“Be honest with your kids. Sometimes I’m going to miss some things, but it’s not because I don’t care about what you are doing it’s because my job (as flexible as it is) is important and holds requirements. Jobs are not optional. They too will experience that one day. We can’t honestly “flexibility” all the time. My tip is to communicate, communicate communicate and make sure your kids comprehend as much as they possibly can.” – Sara Burks, Director of Education
“Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You can’t do it all by yourself.” – Samantha Conner, Director of Wholesale
“Be kind to yourself, don’t be afraid to ask for help, set realistic expectations, learn to say no to not overcommit, openly communicate with your kids and always take the vacation. The days are long but the years are short.” – Shannon Gordon, Social Media Manager
“Its okay to take time for yourself, go on a walk, get your nails, done, read a book in silence.-You’re children need a healthy and happy momma!” – Samantha Pfaff, Community Moderator
“Take time everyday for them with no distractions. Put away all work, phones, and computers to just focus on them and enjoy some family time.” – Maya Mitchell, Wholesale Brand Representative
“Be in the present moment. Also, try to remember that you are doing better than you think you are!” – Marisa Alderson, Customer Service Manager
