Two hours, four women, one company, common reality and rather similar backgrounds. Everybody knew that it is a challenge to find a balance between the work and family and a video about other challenges women face at work was very relatable for them. The topics were well known and the issues existed but not to talk about them was as big part of the environment they live in. “This is our reality, why to get out of it. It might not be the perfect one, but it has always been this way.”
We and ours, but what about you? The first question for which the women didn’t have a straight answer was the question of what do they like to do. When was the last time you had time of your own? This question simply didn’t belong to their reality. They have family, they have children, and most effectively, they have social norms which do not encourage to question the expectations. Having time of your own wasn’t considered as helping you to be the best version of yourself for the people around you. But what if it would?
The main question of our discussion was about the biggest dream. The little insecure answers varied from travelling to step by step achievable career plans, not anything too ambitious or crazy. After we showed this video, the mindset change could be seen from their faces. Eyes full of inspiration, with a wide smile, they now told us how all that they want is to live a happy life, see their children grow up healthy, enjoy their free time and the things they have right now. Life is actually pretty cool. And worth of dreaming.
