Is being a mum the end of your career?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2314151/fan_mail/new] It always amazes me how much scrutiny women get for having a career and being a mum. In this day and age, it shocks me. Today we’re talking primarily about women in music and this odd idea that they give up their careers and they’ll never succeed simply with the fact of having children. If that’s the case, men should have the same ideals put on them when they become parents. But even outside of the entertainment world, women face so much discrimination whether they are or are not parents or even what their intentions around becoming a parent are. Sometimes, it feels like you just can’t win.  We can begin to change this by speaking up when you hear people say “she shouldn’t have had a kid, her career is over” or when people put any kind of limits on what women can or can’t do. Stand up against it and challenge those ideas. What I really want to drive home here is that it absolutely changes things when you have kids, but it doesn’t mean that you need to stop dreaming, planning and moving towards your goals. Especially when you find the woman that will do it all for her kids, nothing can stop her!! So cheer those local artists on, cheer on the businesswomen, and hell, cheer on the dads too!

The things that we wish we’d do and the way we wish that we lived. I personally find that there is such significant importance of embracing risks, saying no to what doesn't serve you, and stepping out of your comfort zone to pursue a more fulfilling life. Listen to some of my personal stories and practical advice on overcoming fear and taking chances. Do it scared. Every single time. Did you find this helpful?
