There I was after having received most of the things I had once dreamed about, or so I thought.
After losing my way in my early twenties, I later graduated at the top of my college class, and was working for a firm with an incredible reputation. I had a phenomenal mentor and I loved my team at work. I was motivated and career driven. I wanted to prove what I could do and who I was. No more girl from a small town in the bootheel of Missouri, I meant business.
I excelled at the firm and quickly drank the kool-aid...that is, believing this work-life balance dream was achievable. I just needed to work more first
