Beautifully articulated. I keep reminding myself, I’ve never done this before, been a mom before, raised teenagers before, etc. Having the language and being able to identify his moment makes a difference
Sarah, you’re already there, helping countless women with your honest essays. I always relate in some way to what you’re writing about and it helps me pause and reflect. Thank you.
P.S. My kids are 23 and 20 and I’m still in the goo phase… My energy to create and evolve looks quite different than pre-kids yet it’s still an energy that’s moving within me. As a 57 year old, it looks different than I imagined and that’s finally ok.
I too have struggled with that question. I always find myself answering where I used to teach before getting to the part about not really teaching much anymore.
Have the power pause on my tbr list! Thanks for reviewing. I love Neha’s work but I wasn’t sure if I would resonate with the book because I’ve never had a traditional corporate career. This reassures me I’ll still get a lot out of it!
Sarah, you have chosen the most sacred role of all. Being a mom. A mindful mom. There is no greater career choice. These are the exact words that I told my 20 year old daughter when she told me that all she wanted to have is family. She has always wanted this since hiding watermelons under her nighties. Of course, I told her to find what else she loves, other passions. However, I told her that she has chosen the most nobile and difficult job. To cultivate family. Something we are losing in this world with all of our aspirations to be acknowledged and seen. I didn't tell her this bc it was also my dream or bc long ago, I chose the same career when I dropped my lawyer role and other more impressive looking businesses. It is her life. But I will encourage her and remind you bc I have never regretted this choice. I am a nobody in the social media, being seen world. I am just a human being who follows my passions without expectations (this makes us whole even when noone or few see us. It makes us better moms too) and continues to be a mom with complete devotion. It still feels sacred. So feel yourself here. Mom and so much more. Love to you.

FOR SURE: and Neha’s mantra is “right now”, this is the phase right now. I imagine having teens requires you to be present in a different way

Omg yes get the book! It’s for all of us regardless of the type of career we had.
Moving this book up on my list. It’s been sitting on my desk since it came out and I resonate with so much of what you’re saying here.
It’s so good. Let’s chat about it when you’re done

Thx for sharing
Beautifully put
Beautifully said. The path is a beautiful one, regardless of (or because of) the circuitous route it takes through life.
Enjoy the twists and turns.
We will never pass this way again. ✨
