Rachel Maksimovic on solo motherhood, letting go of perfection, and doing your best
Picture yourself living the good life in Bali. You pee on a stick thinking you'll quickly quash any fears that you might be pregnant, but those two lines appear. The test is positive and you're keeping the baby. Only, you're doing it solo.You work for yourself, you don't tell your clients that you're pregnant for fear of losing the work and the much needed income, and maternity leave isn't a thing.But you make it work, and every day, your beautiful boy serves as a reminder of everything you've done.This is the incredible story of mother and marketing strategist Rachel Maksimovic.It's warts and all, it's real, and it's beautiful. (And while I have you, there may be a few swear words!)______Thanks for listening to Ready or Not! If you liked the show, please tell your friends, subscribe or write a review.
