#249 - 3 Things You Should Know About Your Accountant Mom’s Brain
Manage episode 367658409 series 2797298
As a mom, you’ve most likely heard the term “mommy brain” used to describe being more forgetful or more emotional once you’ve had your first child. It can sometimes wreak havoc for accountant moms who are ordinarily organized and even-tempered.
Neurologically your female brain goes through many changes during pregnancy, but as a modern woman with a career, this can be very challenging. Think about it - just a century ago, most women were responsible for giving birth and raising children, not working outside the home to support them economically as well.
Unfortunately, terms like “mommy brain” add to the preconception that pregnancy makes someone less capable. While women do go through various changes, it’s also important not to assume that a soon-to-be or current accountant mom is any less capable than anyone else; in fact, she might now be more capable than before.
This week on the podcast we discuss 3 things you should know about your accountant mom’s brain and why they’re important.
