26. Supermodel Turned Supermom with Eishia Brightwell

It’s a tale as old as time, women often end up quitting their career or putting it on pause after they become a full-time mommy. While being a mother is the best job of them all, it’s incredibly important that all moms take time for themselves and fill their own cup with self-care, creative pursuits, or whatever their passion may be.
