Every mother eventually faces it: the choice between continuing to build a career or being fully present at home with a new baby.
It’s not just about schedules or money—it’s about identity, ambition, values, and the deep desire to show up for your family without losing yourself. In this episode of the BeHerVillage Podcast, we talk about this very real and emotional crossroad with Hannah Vasquez, founder of Your Favorite VA, who works with entrepreneurial mothers to help them take real maternity leave while keeping their businesses running.
This episode is an honest, empowering look at what it means to want both: the fulfillment of growing a career and the grounding love of being at the center of your family.
Show Notes
Whether you're a business owner, working full-time, or still figuring out what leave looks like for you, one thing is clear: you don’t have to choose between who you are and who you're becoming. You just need support.
