Courtney Smith opened up on Instagram about juggling life as a working mother.
During a Q&A Courtney was asked how she was coping with working and being a parent, the stylist said, “Like any mom. You make it work. I love being a Mom and I love my job (it’s not an easy juggle) but I have an amazing supportive partner & family who are all very hands on so we make it work”.
Courtney became a mother for the first time last year, welcoming baby Zen into a world amid lockdowns and restrictions.
In another Instagram Q&A a follower asked her; “How did you find having a baby during Covid? Do you feel it’s hard not to let friends and family see baby?”
The stylist and influencer responded candidly, revealing that it has been hard at times. She said; “Honestly really difficult.”
“We started bubbling with my parents after he was about 8 weeks old because I thought it would be detrimental to him not knowing other people and not seeing their faces or hearing new voices developmentally.”
“Plus as a new mum I really needed the emotional and physical support. And since I’ve noticed a huge difference in him,” she added.
Courtney continued; “But in general yeah it’s not been easy, I want to spend time with my friends and introduce him to everyone obviously. Plus there’s been zero mat leave fun!”
Luckily the restrictions have been loosened a bit now and Courtney has been able to have outings with her little one, including adorable beach day this summer!
