2. From Teaching to Homemaking: How Motherhood Changed My Career and My Identity


Listen Later

I'm sharing my story of becoming a homemaker. It was my dream to become a college professor. But after a few years of teaching college English, I began a natural journey into homemaking and motherhood. My experience as a professional, though, has informed much of my work in the home. Join me as I spend a few days working around the house and tell my story of how I transitioned from teaching to homemaking and what I've learned along the way.
