Cat your walk and heel your sole!!

Returning to work after maternity is not easy. I remember the first day in office, leaving my 4 months old behind at home was nerve cracking for me. My mind, my heart and my soul all were left behind with her.
The entire route to office, I was wondering if I can really pull my job along with my new role in life. I was in a new team, people did not know me, they hadn’t seen me, and that made it even more difficult.
Folks smiled, as I got introduced. And their smile had that uncanny question - how much and how long can you really manage work along with managing an infant.
But surprisingly, even after 3 months of break and everything a woman’s body and mind goes through during pregnancy, when I stepped in, I had a personality change. It seemed as if I never took a break.
My little one is 2 years now and as she hops on each stepping stone, I love to realize that we have made it through together. When she looks into my eyes, I tell her “And we shall grow young together”.
My journey called life continues, and my profession moved on... or rather moved forward.
For all the working moms, don’t give up your heels ladies, we are way too strong to manage just one role 😊
