So what was that like for you as your identity was shifting or just these two significant roles of your life started to converge?

It's funny.

As motivated as I was to kind of keep climbing the ladder earlier in my career, I never thought that I would be in the top seat of a communications function.

I never thought that I would be in more senior leadership position.

I always kind of thought of myself as a number two, and for whatever reason, it probably was self-esteem related to your point.

But all of a sudden, I was really growing in my career, and my husband and I were having a really intentional, almost analytical conversation about do we want children.

Neither of us were the p- kind of people that were born being like, "I'm on this planet to be a mother." I didn't have that instinct, which I later learned is common.

When you came back from maternity leave, how did you approach balancing between your kind of new identity as a mother and your identity as a career professional? Was there a period or a moment where that felt like a really difficult balancing act to hold together?
