Ann-Christin Villegas is this week’s guest on Two Kids and A Career. Her pregnancy journey led her to writing about it. From Ann-Christin:
"Becoming a mother and all the struggles that come with it literally opened a new chapter of my life. I am passionate about empowering other parents to pursue the vision they have for their family without giving into the easy way out and the peer pressure around them. I hope my book is the no-nonsense go-to book when dealing with topics most people shy away from.
Originally from Friedberg, Germany, I reside in Northern Virginia with my husband Luis, two (for now) daughters Mila and Livia and two cats, Pubi and Panta. I am a PMP certified Biotech Engineer and work as a consultant in the pharmaceutical industry. I love to travel, especially to Germany, where I was born and raised. I enjoy cooking and baking, followed closely by eating. I am always up for an adventure and like scuba diving, just not with unexpected Bull Sharks encircling…but that is another story for another time."
She describes her book, “Becoming A Parent” as:
"Parenthood: The only place you can experience heaven and hell at the same time. The unsugarcoated guide to help you prepare before birth to your baby's first birthday.
When you find out you will be a parent, you realize you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into. You sway between the confidence of being the best parent to your baby, and self-doubt of failing your little one. It only becomes more daunting as you learn so many things no one ever talked to you about.
When everyone else makes it seem so easy; what does reality actually look like?
*Get an overview of pregnancy, birth, and baby's first year of life
*Find answers to your questions not readily discussed in society
*Feel better prepared for what lies ahead of you
*Find out what matters to you
*Understand how you want to raise your baby and some helpful tips to get you there
*Purposely decide on how you don't want to raise your baby
Becoming A Parent helps you reduce the sleepless nights before your baby is born and gives you the motivation and confidence to get through the ups and downs of early parenthood."
Jill Devine and Ann-Christin discuss the book in more detail in this week’s guest.
