I hid my entire pregnancy from LinkedIn

I hid my entire pregnancy from LinkedIn

because I was scared

scared people would view me differently scared I wouldn't get clients scared of judgement

and let's be honest, scared of the journey of motherhood

i think it's a very sad reality that I lived in

talking about Instagram marketing when I wanted to talk about my son

I tried so many times to hit send on the pregnancy announcement

on posts about what I was going through, so it may help others

to even just have a chat, get advice, some good ol internet love

but I never quite got the balls (irony intended)

it still shakes me to my core that NO ONE noticed 😂

using photos from years back, always cropping my stomach, making sure no baby items were in the background

I guess all this to say that you really just don't know what's going on behind the screen

stop comparing yourself to others, and also spread some love along the way 💖
