Do you ever worry you're being passed over for a promotion? If thoughts like "Where is my career going?" or "Why am I not being considered for advancement?" are familiar to you, you're not alone. Many of us, especially working moms, experience these uncertainties, along with frustration and sometimes anger. Maybe you wonder if it’s because you’re a mom or not part of the so-called "boys club."
Are you having a hard time being more productive at work? Do you feel like you’re working but not really accomplishing the important things you need to do? Have you ever worked late or worked over the weekend because there’s still so much left to do?
Are your goals getting harder to achieve? Do you wake up each day and feel like your willpower is waning? Is it getting a little more difficult to take the actions that you need to take?
Are you struggling to get things done? Are you constantly procrastinating? Do you find yourself avoiding doing things even when those things are to your benefit? Are you making your situation worse by skipping out on completing activities, going to events, or sending emails? I know what that's like. I have been there. I've been in a place where I didn't send the email. I didn't go to the event. I didn't share my thoughts in a meeting. I didn't give my opinion to someone who I thought really needed it.
Do you ever feel like you're losing yourself? Have you ever looked in the mirror and said, “Who is this woman?” It’s like recognizing yourself, but seeing you’re not fully you. You’re not who you used to be. This is not who you imagined yourself to be.
