I am deeply inspired by those who work hard to achieve their dreams, but especially women. Women work HARD to defy odds and I never actually believed this was a thing until I became a mom. Don’t get me wrong I worked hard before I was a mom and there are many women who aren’t mothers who work hard, but being a mom is truly what opened my eyes to this.
