@sweatsandthecity: Nobody tells you this before you have kids: the career search stops being "what do I love" and becomes "what fits between drop-off and pickup." And that's not a compromise. That's not "settling." That's just logistics. We get moms in discovery calls all the time who think they need to find their passion. What so many actually need is a life that works: flexibility, income, sanity and they feel guilty for wanting that instead of some grand calling. You're allowed to want the lifestyle more than the title. You're allowed to choose "this works for my family" over "this is my dream job." That's not a smaller version of ambition. It's just a different math problem, and you're allowed to solve for the variables that actually matter to you right now.
