The author was immersed in her career. She had prepared for years for this time in her life - she was financially independent and moving step by step up the corporate ladder. That was the true definition of success . . . or so she thought. Then it happened - marriage. Then it happened - pregnancy. Then it happened - REDEFINITION!
