Wendy Altschuler
- To celebrate her 40th birthday, Wendy Altschuler was not interested in dragging around her three kids.
- Her husband agreed to take over parenting duties while she traveled solo to explore Switzerland.
- She wanted her children to see her as an adventure-seeking human and more than just a mom.
I've found that women are often expected to give up parts of themselves after entering motherhood. We're pigeonholed into a world where we're supposed to be innate nurturers who only care about our children, not ourselves.
