Career vs. Kids: Working Mom Picks Children Over Lawyer Job
Channel: Working Mom Warrior
Date: 2019-06-25

Why would a successful female attorney leave a high-profile position she loved, throwing away a career she worked so hard to achieve?

Like so many working women who become overwhelmed by ambivalence as they prepare to start or grow their family, Emily Paster faced the tough dilemma of deciding whether to work full time, part time or not at all after having children.

I interviewed and followed Emily to discover more about her emotional mompreneur journey and what lessons she could share with other working moms. I hope you find inspiration in this story of a working mother who found a refreshing way to have it all, after some very difficult personal struggles.

Emily didn’t think she could be the hands-on mom of her dreams while still keeping up with the long hours and stressful demands of the legal profession. But even after becoming a stay at home mom, she refused to let go of her craving for a fulfilling career. Through it all, she maintained a willingness to start all over as a mom entrepreneur.

Did you feel conflicted about returning to work or quitting a job after having kids?
