Ariel joined us on the podcast again this week to talk more about being a working mom and how she picked her partner for the support he provides for her emotionally. She has learned that for her, working fulfills her, and gives her purpose, she likes contributing outside of the home and her husband supports her on that 100%. They can communicate with one another the feeling of having a long day at work vs a long day with the kids. 

They have found a sense of balance that compliments each other within their marriage and parenthood. For them they share a level of equal responsibility because they are both the parents to their children, they are responsible for them.

Some questions we covered were:

• How did you know that working during motherhood was a choice for you?
• Why do women take care of their kids, have their careers, and then think it’s all over after the kids leave or they retire? 

Don’t let life pass you by, and think that because your child left for college there is nothing else for you to do. Your brain doesn’t expire at 50 years old! Society likes to put urgency on us, but there is no urgency, you can add to your life at any age.
