The first time you breastfed the baby while proofreading the quarterly report, I remember the way your eyes never left the spreadsheet—the same way you never left the rhythm of our child’s breathing. We’ve watched that superhero moment, haven’t we? That quiet ballet between the kitchen timer and the conference call? The way the world’s ‘working mom’ narrative is changing, but the heart of it remains—that quiet strength we all know but never fully articulate.
How Working Moms Quietly Redefine ‘Having It All’
I’ve watched you. At the breakfast counter, where the laptop screen glow mixes with the morning light, and you’re simultaneously navigating two worlds—one where a child’s drawing of a dragon deserves a spot on the fridge, and the other where the quarterly report demands precision.
That moment when the preschooler needs to know why the sky is blue while you’re explaining the ROI to the Zoom call—the way you pause, the subtle shift in your voice, ‘I’m here, sweetheart. I’ll always be here.’
Mom guilt? It’s a liar. Because the truth is, I’ve seen the way you’re absolutely present in both worlds. ‘I’m not just doing this for the company,’ you whispered once, ‘I’m doing this for them.’ The way your eyes shine when you talk about the promotion you’re up for, the same way they do when our daughter slides her scribbled love note into your briefcase.
Why She’s Not Just ‘Working Mom’—She’s Superhuman
Remember that Sunday when you were in the park, the kids’ laughter echoing through the trees, and you were also on your phone, tackling that last work email? I used to think it was about multitasking. Now I know—it’s about your superpower to flow between worlds.
The way you can give a present kiss to the kids’ foreheads and a present spreadsheet, all in the same breath. That’s the real magic.
I’ve seen the research too—the stats about the pandemic’s impact on moms. But what I see in your eyes? The way you’re fighting for the future, not trapped in the moment. The way you’re choosing to be fully present. Not just for the kids, but for yourself. ‘I’m not just mom,’ you said once, ‘and I’m not just exec. I’m both. And that’s where the strength comes from.’
The Beautiful Mess We’re Learning to Embrace
Last night, when the toddler’s zoom call was competing with your team meeting, I watched the apology dance. The way you gave a brief, ‘I need to switch to the kitchen for a sec’—that moment. Let’s be honest about the mess. But the way you handle the chaos? That’s the real victory.
The way you’re teaching your kids to see the world—the quiet strength that says, ‘Yes, we can do this complicated thing.’
We’re all juggling. But the real magic happens when we’re fully present in those moments.
So, here’s what we’re learning from the superheroes who balance their careers and the family. ‘Perfection’ isn’t the goal. Choosing to be fully present in each moment. Together, we’re building a village—a team of support.
And that tightrope walk? It’s not about perfection. It’s about the rhythm we’ve found in the middle of the chaos. The way you’re still that same person I fell in love with—just with more layers and an even deeper well of strength.
Like the way you’re still you, even when you’re wearing the mom hat and the CEO hat. The way you transition between worlds—it’s not about ‘balance,’ it’s about the beautiful mess of being a human. And standing there, watching you, I’m reminded—this is all the good stuff.
