I’ve been stressing out a lot these days about whether I am doing the right thing as an expecting mother. Should I have skipped the pizza? Is my child going to turn out terribly because I don’t exercise the way I did before? I am constantly asking myself questions, even though I know somewhere in my mind that I should let all of that go. My conversation with Claire Parsons this week has changed all of that. She is a partner at a full service law firm in Kentucky, and she talks through her transition into taking care of her health and happiness in order to be there for both her family and her work. She talks about how exactly she found the resources she needed to not only spend the time she wants with her family but at the same time become partner at her firm. Spoiler alert: this is not a story about how you need to work harder to succeed in life. It is about why and how you can put yourself first to get all the things you need in due time, maybe even in perfect time.
