I felt shielded and protected, knowing I could count on my team's understanding and support.

I’ve been reading a lot of stories about how some women stay mute about being married and having children at work out of fear of being taken seriously, so it's great to see that you are working in a team that supports you in this new phase of your life.

Thank you for sharing your story @chibichibibr

This is the best 🥹

The most I've 'crossed' my 'personal' and 'professional' life is bringing my kid to a founder retreat, and occasionally they'll make an appearance on a video call when there is a childcare crisis at home.

What a beautiful moment to be able to bring your babe all the way on stage with you, and to be embraced by the community!

Thank you for sharing such a wonderfully uplifting story. These are the kind of stories that help remind us of the good in the world and the excitement of each individual's journey.

I think someone has a daughter who is going to grow up loved and very proud of her mum.
