For those of us that are CPAs, it's a yearly requirement to have a particular number of hours to maintain our CPA license. However, there's a catch. Sometimes, in our quest to be the perfect mom, accountant, and CPA, we fall into the trap of misusing this valuable resource.
We live in a society that places immense pressure on women to excel in all areas simultaneously. The supermom archetype weighs heavily on us, expecting us to effortlessly juggle all aspects of our lives without missing a beat.
And both accountants and moms, the pressure to prove our competence can be even more intense. Continuing education becomes an opportunity to demonstrate our expertise, to validate ourselves as capable professionals, and to quiet that nagging voice of self-doubt.
But here's the thing - in our pursuit of perfection, we often over-commit ourselves. We sign up for every continuing education course that catches our eye, attending endless webinars and adding more certifications to our already impressive resumes.
This week on the CPA MOMS Podcast we discuss the pressure of perfection, the misuse of continuing education, and what you can do about it.
