Welcome to Another Working Mom

Starting 2022 with a dream come true!

It's been years and years of holding back, self-doubt, and almost giving up but here we are. Finally, I have found the courage to embrace the dream that has been lurking in my being for almost a decade.

Welcome to Another Working Mom everyone! This personal project is very dear to me not only because I have become a mother of one lovely little girl but because now I can live my dream of writing about anything under my sun. Yes - under my sun - because this space is dedicated to the learnings, experiences, and endless memories that I have living as another working mom, and hope to share it to empower others too.

Love for Writing

"It is truly a liberating feeling to go for our dreams and make them happen.

My dream career is to become a writer for a known women's lifestyle magazine. However, life may have another plan for me because now I currently thrive in a career in sales and marketing. But I always knew deep in myself that I still cling to that old dream a bit. I am not a phenomenal writer but I am a phenomenal dreamer and as they say, you have to dream it and believe it.

That is why today marks a special day in my calendar. I have gathered enough courage to reach for it and claim it. I have silenced all the doubts that stopped me. It is truly a liberating feeling to go for our dreams and make them happen. The road may be full of thorns but the scent of a blooming satisfaction, in the end, will eternally linger.

Life of a Working Mom

Sometimes, being in the middle of all the responsibilities that need to be done does take a toll on the self.

Juggling family life, career, and graduate school take a lot of effort to ensure that each is given ample quality time. Why make things complicated they say? Because goals never stop even after becoming a mom. Life never stops after giving birth. They make take a vacay for a while but they are still there and that's what keeps me going.

Sometimes, being in the middle of all the responsibilities that need to be done does take a toll on the self. Sometimes, I wake up and do the routine as if I'm on autopilot. Sometimes, I just feel so tired and so drained that I just want to lie down and do nothing. However, I realized that I don't have to fight all of these because this is a part of life. And before you say "time management" like a boss, yes, I do try to do it but that's an area where I badly need to improve on these days.

For now, focusing on the things that matter is what I'm clinging on to somehow neutralize things around. And it works..... for me at least. However, looking at the bright side, I have dreams to chase, a family to love more than ever, a career to keep me going, and an opportunity to take me to new heights... maybe someday.

Be Empowered

I believe that documenting this phase in my life and sharing it with others is already a gift. Using this platform to empower others is a mission I would wholeheartedly take on. And while I'm writing this first post I can feel my heart grow already for the community that can be empowered.

Thank you for being here and see you a lot soon.
