“The importance we place on our mental health especially as mothers usually sits quite low on the ever growing ‘to-do list’ – that is if it even makes the list, now add being a multiple business owner. Being a C-Suite Executive taught me to always be on my A–game and to always show up. When I became a mother almost 8 years ago, I thought I could have it all. I mean don’t get me wrong, you can, but at what cost? For me, it was at the cost of my mental health. I did not understand how important my mental health and well-being were... My first daughter was born in 2014 and I was torn between leaving my child with our nanny at 3 months old and having to fulfil my duties as a board member and director. While in meetings with the rhythmic sound of my pumping machine, I would also frantically send messages to our nanny 13 times an hour with the onset of panic if there was no response within a few minutes.” - Safia Rana-Jaswal @the_mumhub Safia shares her story on the effects of motherhood on her mental health as a serial entrepreneur.
