When I started writing on this blog, and creating things for websites about these things 2 years ago, my career was my life. Which was totally awesome at the time, and the “season of life” that I was in. I got to work an hour before I had to be there, and stayed late every day. As a new career psychologist, I was passionate about creating things that I could use in my practice. I loved my job.
Then, I became a Mom. I was still, of course, a school psychologist, but now I was a wife, Mom, sister, friend, etc. and a school psychologist, and Momming takes up a lot of time. My priority quickly changed from my career to my child. On maternity leave, I was able to check out of the office easier than I thought I would. When I went back to work, I was able to leave at the end of the school day (not hours later), with less guilt than I would have thought.
My happy place |
I still love being a school psychologist. I think it is the best job, and especially the best job for a working Mom. But the truth is, my family has grown even more now, and I’m choosing to dedicate less of my free time to school psychology right now, and that also means this blog.
So maybe I will still share some of my school psychology experience, maybe I’ll shift to more of a working Mom perspective, but I just wanted to give an update. I hope you continue to use the resources here!
