Entrepreneur Ayesha Curry Admits Kids Help Her Keep Work Stress Out of the House: “It Wasn’t Always That Way”

As soon as she masters a new talent, Ayesha Curry manages to blow us away with the next. The latest addition to her growing skills is that of a wine connoisseur and owner. Domaine Curry, started in 2018, alongside her sister-in-law, was recently acquired by Constellation Brands. They were ecstatic at their success in a primarily male-dominated field.

And now, the power sister-duo is back to celebrate the relaunch with close friends. Hosting the soiree at the portfolio brand, The Prisoner Wine Company, Ayesha opens up more about her work-life balance.

The hectic schedule of running multiple businesses often means sacrifice. But not for Mrs. Curry. Ayesha says, “I try not to stress myself out about work things and instead be engaged with my kids. I’ve been proud of that, mainly because it wasn’t always that way.” She encapsulated the whole feeling into one word, “empowering.” 

The new mother, Sydel Curry-Lee, was in earnest agreement. “The empowerment of being able to… work and be present for my child is something I’ll never take for granted.” That’s an area many working women have trouble with. It’s difficult to know where to draw the line when it comes to prioritizing. While it might seem simple from the outside, that line is a very fine one.

Fortunately, Ayesha Curry learned it the hard way, and she has some pointers.

In addition to being a self-made millionaire businesswoman, she also carries the heavy mantle of being the Warriors’ superstar, Stephen Curry‘s wife. With social media scrutinizing her every move, comments that are borderline cruel, and what she hates the most – relating her success to Steph’s popularity.

Being locked up during the pandemic, these negative vibes took a turn for the worst. To the point that she had to go to therapy for social anxiety and depression. While it wasn’t easy to admit that she needed help, it was the best thing to happen to her. Talking to the Business Insider’s Muna Wire, Curry gave her first lesson, “Being taken out of context for clicks is a painful lesson; [I] had to learn to be guarded.”

The next area where Ayesha had to tread carefully was with her children. Growing up in a Catholic household of a first-generation immigrant, there were strict rules and tight reins. Now, a mother of three, Mrs. Curry has realized that her mother’s apprehensions were “straight out of fear”.

While the Curry couple has a different attitude to childcare, it still took a lot of effort for them to find a middle ground. The best example would be their eldest daughter, Riley. The way social media drilled its way into what should have been as normal as a childhood she could have, served as a wake-up call.

Now, they have ensured none of the three children have cell phones or social media accounts, keeping them away from the public eye as much as possible. And allowing them to enjoy childhood like they should. The best thing the lockdown did was for the Curry family to get closer and more aware of each other’s needs.

With the Christian faith playing a huge role in their lives, it’s no wonder that they have managed to come out stronger. In fact, Domaine Curry’s mantra is Femme 31, inspired by Proverbs 31. In the end, Ayesha’s ultimate goal is to leave behind a legacy her daughters would be proud of.
