One of my previous executive bosses and all 'round wonderful human, Sophie Ader, talks candidly about her pregnancy to postpartum journey and life as a working mother of two in her dream role.
Sophie's top tips for doing 'Postpartum like a boss' are:
1. Do some research and or a course on breastfeeding if you're thinking this is how you want to feed your child.
2. Get practical help to be looked after as a new mother. Or set low expectations, survival is the key.
3. Take the time you need away from your career (this can be a long or a short time - it's about what works for you!)
4. Know that YOU ARE ENOUGH as a mother. No matter what, you are enough.
