How do you manage to balance your professional and family life?
I have a big family – my husband and three sons. When my children were little, it was sometimes hard, and I didn’t even have time to think about myself. Still, i don’t I do not regret that. I still remember how my children smell, how they were smiling and chatting in their language and also playing naughty. It will stay with me forever. Time passes quickly and the only thing we keep is memories.
