My son’s first word after “mama” and “dada” was “más.” It’s still his favorite, used whenever he wants more food, another book or extra time outside (funnily enough, he picked up the sign language for “more” before he started saying the word, and will revert back to it sometimes for extra emphasis). Of the dozen or so words he says, none are in English – a thought I didn’t fully process until he started speaking. I’m American; my husband is Argentine.
The systems I built during my first year of motherhood were meant to support daily life at home. I did not know how they would hold once I started moving again. This piece picks up where part one left off. It focuses on what happened when I returned to running, work travel, and professional spaces, and how motherhood showed up once I was back in motion.

Becoming a mother while running a business in travel and hospitality didn’t change my ambition. It did change my systems, my approach, and my awareness of invisible labor.

At the same time, working mothers are also spending more time caring for their children than previous generations.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 through October 15 each year.
