Being one half of a global power couple while juggling the demands of a fashion empire and four kids is no easy feat. But somehow, Victoria Beckham makes it look easy.
)
As Posh Spice in the Spice Girls, Victoria was catapulted to international stardom at a young age. She’s since gracefully transitioned into an incredibly successful solo career, but it hasn’t been without sacrifice. In multiple interviews, Victoria has been open about the toll being away from her family took on her in the height of the Spice Girls fame. She’s spoken about missing key moments in her children’s lives that she’ll never get back.
When she and David started their family, Victoria was determined not to repeat history. She has developed strategies and systems to keep her fashion career thriving without losing precious time with her kids and husband. From scheduling quality time in her calendar to protect it, to leveraging technology to virtually be there when she can’t physically, Victoria has mastered the art of work-life harmony.
While no one’s perfect, Victoria Beckham sets a powerful example of what’s possible. Both women chasing big dreams and those deep in the parenting trenches can learn a lot from how this superstar mom, wife and entrepreneur compassionately sets boundaries and runs her life.
Victoria beautifully balances being present for her four kids — with her son Brooklyn recently getting married himself! — along with growing her global fashion brand and sustaining 20+ years with partner David. She fiercely protects what’s most important amidst the relentless pressures of fame.
Like everything else she puts her name on, Victoria Beckham sure makes work-life balance look good. Her ability to nurture a thriving family and career is aspirational and sets the bar high. Maybe there is such a thing as “having it all” with the right priorities and support systems in place. Victoria continues to embrace her roles as a mom and businesswoman while inspiring those of us still learning how to make it all work. Just call her “CEO Spice”.
