In this episode, I have shared 10 lessons that I have learned as a working mom. I have also talked about a Christmas tradition that I love.    10 Lessons:    #1: There is no such a thing as a “perfect” mom: 完璧なママは必要ない o   So much expectation on myself and I try to do everything “so perfect” but in reality, I mess up all the time, I fight with my kids, I get frustrated and sometimes being really hard on them.  Lesson: It is ok to let kids to be creative. We don’t have to make everything perfect. Kids are not looking for perfection! They just love you as you being  a caring mom.  #2: Understand what your kids want not yours: 子供の気持ちを大切に o   As a mom, we all want the best for our kids. I want my kids to have the experience, best learning environment and best everything!  Lesson: It is good to give opportunity but you cannot push kids to do it.  As a working mom, everything is a “go- go- go” so  I sometimes forget to ask how my daughter is enjoying. In stead, I get mad at my kids if they are not active and engagin

In this episode, I have shared my very honest opinion about how I see the gender inequality in Japan and how Japanese women are struggling to stay in a workforce.  ワーキングマザーはとても大変！でも日本でワーキンマザーはもっと大変。私たち日本人女性は社会から決めつけられた男女の役割、理想の女性であるべきと言うプレッシャーなど、日本を出て他の国で生活をしていても常に気にしていたり、壁となって本当の自分を出し切ることができない。　私たちの責任はまずは見て見ぬ振りをしたり、これが当たり前と考えることでなく、現実と向き合う事、そして当たり前と言う考えをなくすこと。その壁を乗り超えることによって新しいソルーションが生まれてくるのだと思います。     Want to take your first step to do what you really want to do? sign up for a waiting list to get more info + Special Price from here http://bit.ly/myconfidencewaitlist   Don’t forget to check out free resources!  Waiting list to get the brand new Gifted talent worksheet for free: http://eepurl.com/c83KkL My Confidence My Way Online Academy http://www.theemistyle.com/myconfidencemywayacademy/ Her Confidence Her Way Community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/HerConfidenceHerWay/ Her Confidence Her Way Youtube Channel: http://bit.ly/herconfidenceTV

I have been interviewing over 40 Japanese career/business women who are living outside of Japan and I have been asking a question “what is one Japanese cultural value that you appreciate, and one value that we need to adjust to fit the country that you live in? “ For those who are able to adopt and adjust cultural value have built up their intercultural competence.
