![]() ![]() I returned my “have it all” life and left my corporate career behind to have it my way as a Mompreneur, taking a leap of faith to start a direct sales business in 1990. I suddenly realized my corporate income was affording me a mommy-fill-in, while I was missing out on all the important milestones in my daughters’ lives. At day’s end, I’d climb into bed exhausted, only to wake up bright and early to rinse and repeat my hectic schedule. There was still dinner to prepare, bedtime rituals and laundry to do. ![]() It all looked good on the outside, but I was miserable on the inside. Sure, I bought into it, climbing the corporate ladder after college and enjoying the fruits of a two-income household that included a BMW in the driveway, a 4-bedroom home in the ‘burbs, and a daytime nanny to care for my two daughters. Striving to be the perfect mom, wife and career woman will only give you more mommy-guilt. I believe the simple answer is, no, women really can’t have it all. ![]() Women have been sold the “you can have it all” mantra since the 1980‘s, when we were just hitting our stride in the work place. We might not be able to have it all but we can have it on our terms ![]()
