Did You Grieve Who You Were Before Becoming a Parent? with Darrell Vesterfelt #shorts

I missed deadlines. Clients were pissed off at me. My partners were pissed off at me. At home, I was stressed out and not being a present dad and partner. And then I'm grieving really heavily. And I was asked to leave the company that I started fired, basically, and asked to leave the company that I started just so that those partners could save face with the clients that I had completely made huge mistakes on. And in the moment, it felt like these were potential, like, large, influential clients. They were large, influential partners and investors. And I had just maybe ruined my career. And it's kind of how I felt in the moment. And I was just very, very scared. And it was about a six month, very, very dark period of my life where I was having a hard time.
