Managing Career and Motherhood :: Lila Rose [EP46]

Gems of Motherhood

Motherhood is one of the most fulfilling journeys life offers, but it is exhausting. Add work outside the house to the mix, and you may find yourself stretched very thin. Today my guest Lila Rose shares her experience balancing her career with motherhood.

Lila shares how intense a career can be routinely, yet when you add the wrinkles, like events, conferences and travel it becomes very challenging. She personally realized when she became a mother that she would have to adjust her career to serve her family. She learned different lessons, including the freedom of saying NO.

“When I entered motherhood, I wanted to do it very intentionally. Overall it’s a journey and I learned how to prioritize, and to make sure I’m getting that quality time with my son on a daily basis.”

Lila’s day-to-day is unique to her; however, her prioritizing is not foreign to other mothers. Her time with her son is not just about quantity time, but quality time living life fully invested in his nurturing and growth. It’s not always easy, yet it is satisfying and spiritually healing.

“Motherhood is a full-time job and we need to start appreciating it. Each mom is different. And we need to give ourselves grace as mom”
