ARIANNA SAID:
Give yourself space to really develop your working mom identity. Click To Tweet Waiting around for the perfect time to start a family—it will never arrive. Click To Tweet Whatever the time you choose to have a family is, you're going to make it perfect for you. Click To Tweet Trust that you have the skills, the confidence, and the grace to find what you need. Click To Tweet No one structure is going to work for everybody. As bosses, we get to decide what structure works for us. Click To Tweet Even if it doesn't feel like it, you're rocking it because you're doing it.
