Lamiez Holworthy, a South African DJ, television personality, radio presenter, record producer, businesswoman, and philanthropist, describes her first week back at work as a mother.
The radio host returned to Metro FM and began accepting engagements just weeks after the birth of her son, Leano.
She took to social media to share how she felt about working as a mother.
“First week fully back at work and I can’t explain all the emotions I’ve gone through- from the little mommy guilt that comes with leaving your little one behind to the hunger that comes with wanting to go extra harder just for him. Then there’s your body having to adapt or learn to push through the crazy hours all over again and still give every gig your all…”
“I then look at all the love I’ve received at each and every one and it makes it all a little easier. It reminds me of the genuine love and support that I have, not only at home but at gigs too and that alone is enough to carry me.”
“And now? Now that I have this newly found purpose, drive, and hunger- I cannot wait to go even harder and still balance being a wife, a mother, a daughter, sister, friend and all the other hats that I wear but most importantly? Still being able to be MYSELF,” she added.
