I found myself reflecting on what my career path was going to be and when I allowed myself to be very honest, I recognised that although I was content with the choices I’d made, I didn’t feel completely fulfilled. I was at a stage where my role as a mother had been a priority for such a long time that I wasn’t entirely sure who I was outside of that. Was this what I wanted for the rest of my life and the message I wanted to model to my daughter?

We live in a world where productivity is king. Where doing and moving and achieving is a direct indicator of success. Not to mention of our own value. It hardly comes as a surprise that manoeuvring our lives around goals has become second nature.
