''I was freelancing when I became pregnant, which gave me a certain freedom in the beginning. I worked less and started to really listen to what I needed, both in my work and in my life.

I am still on maternity leave, but I take on a few projects, only the ones I know can work with my baby close to me.''

''We both work from home and our days are flexible. Ella is still very young, but the plan is for her to start nursery with shorter days. It feels important to find a rhythm where both work and family life can exist side by side.

Right now, I work in the in between moments. When she needs me, especially when I am breastfeeding, it becomes very clear where I need to be. In those moments I cannot divide myself, my full attention is with her. Work has to adapt to that. It becomes more fragmented, more unpredictable.''

''When I try to work and she needs me. Especially when I am breastfeeding, it is very clear where I need to be, I cannot split myself, my focus is entirely with her. So I let go of what I am doing.

If I really need to concentrate, my partner helps. But right now I only give parts of myself to work, the rest is with my baby.''

''I have had to let go of doing everything on my own.

It has been vulnerable, but also necessary. I am working on building a support system around me so I can work without losing myself in it. For me, it is not only about getting things done, but about doing it in a way that feels sustainable.''

''We start the day slowly at home, with our baby and time together. Sometimes we move a little, do some yoga and arrive in our bodies before the day begins.

The rest of the day moves between her, food and small pieces of work. Things are interrupted and picked up again, work happens in the spaces in between.

And in the evening, we settle back into a slower rhythm together.''

''Before, success was about work and career. Now it feels completely shifted. Success no longer starts with work, it starts at home.

It is about creating a balance, an ecosystem where there is space for work, stability and family life.''

''To be patient.

And to trust that things will find their shape when you stay close to what feels right.''

''There is still a lack of flexibility. The possibility to stay close to your child and still have a working life. An understanding that work does not fill the entire day, and that the rest of life also matters.''

''To grow my work while being a mother.

I am working with retreats and I would like to create something that also includes mothers and families. Something that aligns with the reality of my life.''

''Trust your body and its strength, be patient, do not hold on to stress.''
