The site that I launched was born out of conversations had with moms like the ones you've mentioned. I've surveyed nearly 900 moms nationally and GUILT was the number one reason preventing them from returning to work. And, when I sat down to conduct a video interview with Malaak Compton-Rock (Chris Rock's wife) she offered this advice, "Push through the guilt." Malaak believes, like many, that she "was put on this earth to be more than a mother an a wife." It is an individual decision. Know too the we can be both... it is possible to achieve personal and professional aspirations. Hi Marlena,
