“I don't beat myself up any more about going to work. It doesn't mean I'm being a bad mother just because I want to go and do my job sometimes.”

Meaning

The note here is about releasing guilt around work and motherhood. It can be taken to mean that wanting time for a job is not a moral failure, but part of being a full person with more than one responsibility. It lands for anyone who has been made to feel selfish for wanting professional space, especially when family expectations are loud.
