This woman is amazing and I am so happy she has shared her story, her perspective and her research. I had these same feelings and have been with my 3 small children for the last 8 years. Knowing it was what I and my children needed and acting on it was intrinsic and also in line with my early childhood education background. I continue to be at home with my children and have another 1.5 years until my youngest starts school. That will be another chapter. For now thank you Virginia for putting a voice to so many of my feelings and experiences. I feel so seen and have a spring in my step today after listening to the podcast with Mia. You are amazing and brave and don’t let other peoples reactions to your position change anything. Thank you thank you thank you! Annalise xx
