The biggest lesson I've learned throughout the first season of 'Workin' Moms' is that you have to give yourself permission to forgive yourself.
It's not the most relatable thing for working moms to have freshly painted claws all the time.
I've embraced comfortable, but still chic, footwear. I don't know who I was wearing heels for - as much as I love the way they make my legs look and the power I feel when I choose to wear them - but I can do a longer and more pressing day if I'm in a shoe I can walk in.
It took me a long time to blossom. Everyone else understood how to socialize and how to look. I didn't get the memo.
There's an identity crisis - a lot of us become mothers, and all of a sudden, we're expected to become these selfless people. That's not a really natural process. That, for me, never felt organic.
I went back to work about six weeks after I gave birth, which was crazy early, and experienced some pretty bad postpartum depression but didn't know it at the time.
I talk about postpartum depression and all these things I don't hear a lot of women talking about on TV.
You can have a career and kids who love you. But you have to nurture yourself and find a way to be fulfilled so you're not resentful.
