What has been the best part of being a mom at HBS? An incredible community of peers.
How do you make it work? A supportive and fully engaged spouse; knowing that a happy mama is a happy baby - so I can invest time in myself without qualms.
What advice do you have for others thinking about starting a family? There’s never a perfect time. It’s a lot of fun and very rewarding. Give yourself grace – you are going to have the highest expectations for yourself, so be kind. Live near family and/or be prepared to pay for help, you definitely need help.
