Mother's Day: Women Leaders On How to Balance Motherhood & Work
Mother’s Day is a celebrated occasion when we acknowledge the important role of mother figures in one’s life. This day is a celebration of motherhood, maternal bonds, and the impact mothers have on society.
A mother is arguably the most important figure in a young individual’s life. She is the first teacher and role model and gives one the blueprint for building a good life.
Motherhood is no cakewalk. Ask any mother and they will attest to the fact that raising children is a herculean feat. The journey becomes even tougher when the mother is also a working professional. Dealing with the demands of a workplace and child rearing is a tough challenge.
