Three years ago, I was waddling (very pregnant) in our West Hollywood office with Rachel Zeilic, who was also pregnant with her first child. We’ll talk about how nervous we are when we step into motherhood, share tips on different ways to manage pregnancy hurdles, talk about how we didn’t know what to expect. What to expect when joy comes to them – it’s all very new. Fast-forward to today, and I’m looking forward to my second, while Rachel has just returned from maternity leave following the birth of her second son, Lucky.
We’ve both been on this very parallel journey of motherhood — going from one child to two, managing a toddler in the midst of a pandemic, and figuring out who we are as children. are individuals really also enjoy our motherhood. It’s great, to say the least, to have someone who understands the hardships and privileges of parenthood. I don’t think parents’ schedules and their daily balancing behaviors are discussed enough, especially when considering the pandemic. Sometimes it seems like we want to manage it all with ease because we get to “rest” with the kids all day long. It’s quite the opposite, which is why well-thought-out daily routines and plans are so important.
Rachel breaks her morning routine and gives me a quick snapshot of how she manages her two kids and her career. Believe me — I’m taking notes.
