Let's Be Real - Mama Journeys - Episode 138 W/Angela Tipton

Angela Tipton runs a website called fireyourcareer.  She believes in empowering other women to live their truths.  She became a mom at the age of 30 because she focused on creating her career. She had a tough time balancing her career and personal ambitions with being a mom. She didn't want to set aside her career but finding the time to be 100% at both. Her husband has been her biggest supporter and was truly her 50% parenting partner. She also has some family around her in Oregon.  Her mother- in-law and aunt were two of her biggest supporters and she doesn't know how she would have done it all without them. Choosing her best mama moment was tough because she has so many great memories and times with her two boys. She took her eldest skiing for the first time and was so impressed with his tenacity and the chance to watch him enjoy a sport that she loved was a highlight in her mamahood journey. Her worst mama moment came during Covid when childcare wasn't available and figuring out all of the dynamics behind all of that was really tough. She wishes she would have known that parenting was harder than she ever thought it would be. But she also learned that she is getting through it and you can work things out.  Preparenting she had lots of opinions but they didn't turn out to be very realistic.  Going with the flow is so important in parenting.
