Im a little conflicted because I have my career going which was always a passion growing up, I made it, I’m doing it! I’m about to give birth maybe I feel this way because i do feel very hormonal but I a lot of times am feeling like I want to pursue something else in life but also don’t know what. Any advice on how to move forward ?

Is this your first baby? I will say that being on mat leave right now with my first, it’s crazy how my view on my job / career has changed. I’m the breadwinner and my husband and I both work in corporate so overall are doing well but now the idea of going back and leaving my little one in the care of others is stressing me out and my job feels so insignificant now.
I’ve gone back to school a couple of times and changed careers and honestly might be due for another switch again soon. As life changes, so do your priorities and interests. It’s absolutely ok to explore if there’s other jobs that might be better suited for your interests / stage of life.
