I wish I failed more before I became a mother🔴 . I want my daughter to know resilience is more important than success.✔ P B P After earning tenure at my university, I was euphoric but soon felt restless. I didn't understand why the achievement was so anticlimactic, but with the help of my therapist, I discovered that I wanted something more, something more meaningful. It turned out that after having spent my entire adult life firmly in the child-free zone, I wanted to have a baby.
A few years later, at age 38, I got pregnant. At the time, I was working six days a week, so I couldn't do my usual overpreparation by reading dozens of books about pregnancy and parenting. I told myself that this was actually a blessing in disguise because it forced me to curb my overachiever tendencies.
Well, even if I had read a library of books on parenting, I would not have avoided the inevitable uncertainty of being a parent. I struggled with breastfeeding, as many mothers do, and in my postpartum period, I filtered this experience through my default lens of success vs. failure. I carried guilt about my breastfeeding challenges for many months, counting them as failures.
Thankfully, the next day, my daughter's pediatrician referred me to a lactation consultant to whom I will forever be indebted.
