Adjusting to Parenting, Upbringing Influences, and Balancing Aspirations, with my wife Gladys Kee

Transitioning to the new reality of being a mother, learning how to parent from your parents, and balancing career and parenting ambitions with your husband. Gladys shares with us her experience as a first-time mother who also aspires to have a thriving career.

Gladys Kee works in Client Services at The Trade Desk, an advertising technology company. She is also my wife and the mother of our 15-month old daughter, Gabby.

In this season finale, we discuss the lessons we learnt in our first year as new parents, as well as the sacrifices and the joys of seeing our child grow. Gladys reflects on the influences her upbringing has on her choices as a mother and talks about how to balance her career ambitions with mine. She shares that flexibility is key to parenting  as well as working in tech: both children and tech are constantly evolving, so you need to stay open to be able to recognize different stages and adapt to them.
