Motherhood & Ambition, 6 Months In
The author reflects on six months of motherhood after a difficult IVF journey, describing how the birth of her son removed a protective layer and intensified her sense of purpose. Contrary to expectations that parenting would shrink her professional world, she feels more ambitious, demanding work that is both meaningful and flexible. She now aims to design a future of work where humans are not sidelined, aligning career goals with the well‑being of her child. The piece illustrates a broader shift where parents, especially women, are redefining ambition in the context of family.
