Why I Do What I Do, How I Do It

My mom went back to work when I was 5, after staying home for 13 years (I am the youngest of 5 children.) She took a job where she traveled a lot.

My father also worked, either driving or taking the train into the city, an hour each way.

As you can imagine, they weren't around a lot when I was younger.

When I decided to become a parent, I knew I wanted to do it differently.

Not only did I have to quit a stressful, full-time traditional job to even have a sustainable pregnancy, I also knew that I didn't want to go back to that life.

My family, and my overall life, is my priority.

I want to have as many moments like the one below as I can.

It's why I work 20–25 hours a week.
It's why I work remotely, rather than traveling to clients.

Freedom for me isn't just about freedom.
It's about love.

👉 Why do you do what you do, how you do it?
