Being raised in Mormon culture, I learned that the women were supposed to be at home, nurturing children, and the men were supposed to be out providing and working. For a woman, wanting success outside the home was selfish. That perception has definitely changed throughout the years. Now, I know you can be a better mom when you're pursuing your dreams. When you fill your cup, you have more to give.
I feel so grateful to have her in my life. And it's the best way to wake up in the morning. It's the best way to go to bed at night. It puts everything into perspective. You know it kind of grounds you, and I'm very lucky to do what I love as a woman, and I'm very lucky to love as a mother, and that's just an absolute gift to get to recognise myself in both of those things beside each other in this moment.
They're the only reason I'm here. They've done everything for me. They've watched the kids every step of the way, and they've encouraged me and supported me. I've had so many nannies throughout the years that have allowed us to get here. It's been incredible.
