I left my 15-year career to become a stay-at-home mom. I was sad and embarrassed, but now I see it as a privilege.

• Tiffany Tuttle left her 15-year career in production for motherhood after getting pregnant in 2019.
• The COVID-19 pandemic forced Tuttle to become a stay-at-home mom rather than take maternity leave.
• Tuttle now embraces her new identity and balances freelance writing, podcasting, and parenting.

I stepped into the production world as a teenager when I founded a TV show at my church. By the time I graduated from high school, production was already second nature.
