Description

Being a Somm is more than a job it is a lifestyle. It requires giving a significant part of you to be successful. Needles to say the same applies to parenting and even more so. The balancing act of being a 'SommParent' is a careful one. Planning is necessary. Knowing that you are not alone is endearing and we have to be intentional in building our communities and developing a support system. While there are stigmas about parents in the professional world we must look into ourselves and our own merits to find motivation. Overcoming stigmas and blocking out the noise is not always easy but mandatory in the wine trade. We work to support or families and we look to our families for support. Meet some successful SommParents and get helpful perspectives on balancing work and home life, finding your support system, and staying focused and diligent in your efforts to grow and impact the industry.
