This trip has been very productive, but also inspiring and very encouraging.
Even though we have gone so far in how working women, and especially mothers, are viewed by a society today, it still can be sometimes very discouraging to battle assumptions and perceptions that once kids appear in the picture, a woman becomes "just a mom" and it's the husband who becomes all important all of a sudden, and even if a woman works, she becomes automatically just an "add on" to his glory. I face that every day, and after so many times of hearing the same assumptions over and over it can be very discouraging.
That's how many people just see it.
While for some, I am sure, it is the truth, it is not for all.
First of all, there is nothing "just" about being a mom - let's just get that out of the way 🤗 Simply carrying and supporting a life inside for 9 months and many years after already surpass any "just" characteristics.
Second, it is not always ONLY about husbands/men when comes to work, and work + family.
This trip I had a pleasure of meeting in person and working with some amazing women, who have strong careers and businesses, who have made a positive impact on lives of many, and almost all of them are mothers too or planing to be mothers at some point.
