A job for someone can be a chore. A job for another can be a mission in life. A job for me is a great balancing act between being a wife, a mother, and a good employee, or if you’re divorced, a single mom raising children, shuffling between doctor’s appointments, extracurricular activities, evening work events, homework, etc. This list is endless.
As a working mom and publicist, my job has kept me grounded. During challenging times in my life, I could always count on a colleague of mine to understand what I was experiencing and give advice to just keep my head above water. It also helped when I asked to get mundane tasks from her so I wouldn’t have to think when I couldn’t focus on important accounts. My life was unraveling before me, fast.
