Great advice, Michelle! I can relate myself to your story. I am soon a mother of 2 and constantly struggling with the thought of balancing my life with small kids and my learning journey to become a full stack web developer.
I never thought of running into coding before but the whole social distancing thing have changed my mind. I've stayed at home with my first-born and started learning Java and JavaScript for almost a year. Now the more I code the more I love it. Whenever I have a break from mommy duties I spend time to code.
I love to see other moms despite all odds try breaking into tech. It will perhaps take more time for us to get to what we want but we are certainly patient and strong enough to overcome all obstacles ahead of us.
Greeting from Finland!
