Diana shares her experience in attempting to stop work multiple times to be a full time Mum, and why she ended up returning back to work
Diana provides some great practices she uses to manage her career in tech, with her duties as a Mum
She shares her advice for women who experience guilt after returning from maternity leave, leaving their child at daycare, leaving work early, or missing their child when they’re sick
