When I think about my career before having my son, it does feel like a chapter ended, but it was reborn into something more meaningful. I know I say this from a place of privilege, and I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to carve out something that fulfills me. However, the anxiety of losing something I had worked so hard to build was real. Four years later, I’m in a much better place. As much as I love wardrobe styling, it required traveling, long hours, and sometimes demanding projects, things I didn’t feel I could juggle well while also being present with my son. And, frankly, I just wasn’t interested in the hard hustle of it all anymore, I wanted my energy spent on raising my son. It was a personal choice to take a break, and I’m grateful I had the privilege to do so. I worked a full time job along the way, which turned out to be a pretty toxic situation, especially as a new mom. So here I am, 2.5 years after leaving that full time job. I still have a lot of goals I’m working toward in my content creation journey, but it fits my schedule, and I get to be creative. I get to be with my son. This space is something I am truly grateful for. Yes, motherhood changed everything about me and even my career, but I am so proud of the person I am working hard to become.
