Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Parents:
If you want to be a mother, you should stay home with your children. It isn't good for your children to work.
How I responded:
If you are a mother, your first priority is to make sure your children are safe and well taken care of. You don't have to be unemployed to do that. Instead, show your children that you can do both, and so can they when they grow up.
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I have ADHD. I follow my doctor's orders with therapy and medication. I also have learned to find jobs that will leverage my strengths. When I have to do things that are hard for me, I look for tech & tools to help.
