Sarah shares her decision to leave her fast-paced career in litigation once she had a family and how she managed to find her sense of balance.  

**Clarification & Updates: Sarah worked as a Litigation Support Analyst (not as a lawyer), we misspoke in the episode! As a recent update, she still continues to work in this field from home after the birth of her second child.**

Listen as Sarah shares how:

She made the decision to leave her career in litigation to be a work at home mom. She balances working and being a mom. She felt she “wasn’t good at being a mom.” The parenting “experts” don’t know your family situation. There is no “right” way to parent. She manages unpredictability of children with her Type A personality To maintain yourself after you have a baby. To keep top of mind what you priorities are RIGHT NOW. She institutes boundaries to preserve herself.
