And I think for so many years, women are told your identity can't be your work.
Identity can't be your work.
And then I felt really bad that I'd like had this baby who was the love of my life.
The cutest baby of all time.
Like it's insanely cute.
Yes.
But then also be like, I kind of like, don't know who I am.
And maybe kind of
miss this huge part of me that I have like dedicated my life to my work.
And I listened to Chrissy Swan.
I think I want to say it was the imperfects.
And she was talking on the podcast and she said, a big part of my identity is my work.
And I'm not ashamed about that.
And it was like the first time I'd heard a woman say that.
And I was like,
oh, okay, I can miss that huge part of me and feel like part of me is missing.
That doesn't make me a bad mum.
It doesn't make me a bad feminist.
It doesn't make me anything.
It just means that work has been my everything and now it's gone and I was looking back on the life that I had lived going, was that a movie?
