Do they really think I’m managing well or are they just saying that to satisfy me? Even though there is no judgment, you feel very critical of yourself. But I work hard on my mental health – I go to therapy every week where I express these fears.
Alia further added, “And it helps me understand that this is not something that I will just understand on the first or fifth or tenth day; it is a constantly evolving, constantly growing process. You have to understand it.” You have to be able to take yourself to pieces and rebuild yourself every day, it’s not like, ‘Oh, I’ve got it together… I’m coping with excellence… I have all the answers. Are.’ No one has all the answers.”

She said, “It makes me wonder if I’m doing the right thing with my kids and my work. There’s a lot of pressure on women to have both…almost like this old school notion of That once you have the baby, you have it.” To ruin your career or you’re not a perfect mother.”
