Hi Mel! I’m in my mid 20s and recently landed my dream job, marking a significant milestone in my career. However I am interested in having a family in the coming years as my SO and I are getting serious and discussing future plans.

As much as I love the thought of being a mom, I am scared of losing what I’ve worked so hard for professionally and falling behind in that regard.

How do I prepare myself for kids in the next 5ish years? What can I do now both personally and professionally to be ready for the possible hit to my career? How do working moms balance it all?? My own mom was a SAHM so never saw that balance in action. Thanks in advance, Mel.
