Anna O'Sullivan on Taking a Career Break to be a Full Time Carer to her Autistic Son!

When we become a parent (or in many cases well before that...) we usually know whether we want to be a stay-at-home parent or if we want to be a working parent. But what if we choose the latter but the Universe has a different plan for us? How does it feel to give up on the plan we have had for ourselves? In this episode Anna talks about her personal experience of taking a career break to become a full time carer for her son! and how does it feel to see your child struggle or to be rejected? Also, from a very personal perspective, Anna talks about how does it feel to lose her personal/ professional identity and the judgment and societal expectation she felt on her! And why making this decision mostly defaults to a women? (Do I dare I say always?)
