I wanted to do it all for my daughter” – Serena Williams 

Serena Williams shared her parenting experience with ‘Shape’. She mentioned one of the traveling moments that took place with her daughter.

“The other day, we pulled into the driveway after another trip, and Olympia [her daughter] looks at the house and goes, ‘Yaaaaay’. It made me happy, but it also broke my heart. I thought, Wait, am I traveling too much?’ I think that’s my happiest place—just being at home. It’s what makes me feel calm and so at peace.”

The 38-year-old Williams revealed her priorities in life. “After having a baby, I didn’t want to do anything for myself. I wanted to do it all for my daughter,” she said. “It’s a great attitude, but moms don’t treat themselves the way they deserve. So that’s my thing now.”
