Every woman goes through a common conflict in her life that is choosing between her professional life and personal life. She tries everything possible to balance both her professional and personal aspirations. She is passionate about her home,children,family and simultaneously about her profession, which gives her an identity. The profession helps to make her own identity apart from being a daughter, wife, mother, etc. A woman is always proud of her personal relations; yet she wants to go out and explore her potential as a teacher, an engineer, a scientist, a doctor, trainer and so on. At times, she has to deal with stress and guilt when she tries to manage both her personal and professional front.
Many a times, I face this conflict of how to manage both the worlds as they are inseparable part of my personality. I enjoy to cook food for my family, take care of my husband and nurture my kid but at same time, I love to develop content for website or train students in communication. When I got married, I had a lot of dreams about new life that will come my way. The new life gave me a lot of joys as well as responsibilities to handle. I was trying to manage both my professional and personal life and sail smoothly. At that time, I got an interesting offer to work with a MNC. It was a dream come true for me as I was getting an opportunity to work with a brand name, a good package and to understand the nuances of corporate world.
I was in great spirits and at that very time, I got another good news that I was pregnant. I was waiting for both my baby and a good career opportunity. Both the things happened simultaneously and I had to choose one out of the two.Due to medical complications, my doctor had asked me not to travel and had advised me bed rest during the first trimester of my pregnancy. Due to that, I had to let go my job and take rest at home. I had a lot of confusion while taking this decision. At the end, my maternal instinct won as I wanted motherhood more at that time than my career.
Today, when I look back at that decision, I feel that I made a right choice on my personal front but somewhere my professional life is lagging behind. This is part and parcel of every woman's life as she has to compromise with many things for her relationship , family and profession
