Laura, how did you become the successful professional that you are?
Success is a word that is measured in many ways. If I had to define success, I would tell you that it is living up to your dreams and desires. Having the courage to dream and do something with it is already a success.
Not everyone works for that; In fact, the world is full of people who regret every day of their lives for not having achieved what they never strove for.
I consider myself successful for working tirelessly to achieve what makes me happy. There is a very popular phrase, “without fear of success”… Being successful is having the courage to go after what you want, even with all that that implies, be it criticism, the gaze of the other, especially those who do not they are encouraged to leave their comfort zone, and that the only thing they can do from there is criticize and mark faults.
We know that you are an inveterate jujeña, would you come to live in Buenos Aires?
Jujuy is a magical place, it is my place, I adore that province and I always choose it. It is true that job opportunities, especially what I do, have a much wider range in Buenos Aires. Luckily I have the ability to come and go. My children are still young, we also have a beautiful blended family, which clearly makes the idea of leaving my province difficult. We’ll see, how I’m doing so far is perfect.
How do you combine your work life with family life and motherhood?
I consider myself a good mother, but far from optimal, or at least what society defines as ideal. My children know that they have a mother who has dreams and desires, and she gives place to those dreams, and that many times that means I have to travel and be away for a few days. I am happy to be able to teach them that having children is not an obstacle to go after what you want. Although society sometimes romanticizes many things, being a mother should not mean that you leave your wishes aside.
If there is something that I don’t really care about, it is what society expects of me. I apologize to all those who put expectations on my forms. I’m not going to fulfill even one, unless it’s my own challenge. In addition, each one carries motherhood as best they can, it is a very complex task to also burden it with the opinion of others.
What are your next work plans for the future?
I have several, but I don’t want them to distract me from enjoying everything I’m doing right now.
I have been working at the Editorial for some time now, on radio, magazines, TV programs, which shows women in the place that we all want to see them and that we fight so hard for. And of course the launch of my book “Broken Mirrors”.
