It’s not easy being a working mom. Just ask Serena Williams<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The tennis star posted on her Instagram<\/a> page on Friday a photo of herself with no makeup, sitting inside a parked vehicle and holding her and husband Alexis Ohanian<\/strong>‘s 2-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian, Jr.<\/strong>, aka Olympia<\/strong>, who is sleeping on her shoulder.<\/p>\n

“I am not sure who took this picture but Working and being a mom is not easy,” Williams wrote. “I am often exhausted, stressed, and then I go play a professional tennis match.”<\/p>\n

“We keep going. I am so proud and inspired by the women who do it day in and day out,” she continued. “I’m proud to be this baby’s mama @olympiaohanian. #nofilter #nomakeup #nohairbursh lol #justme.”<\/p>\n

More than 343,000 people liked her post.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for this! Feeling it extra hard today being a working mom,” commented user @meganelizthompson.<\/p>\n

Last year, Williams talking to E! News<\/a> about being a working first-time mother.<\/p>\n

“I’m always trying to ask everyone else, how do they balance? Because I’m not sure if I’m doing a good job,” she said. “I’m just trying to do the best that I can.”<\/p>\n

“I’m a perfectionist, so I tend to second-guess myself a lot,” she continued. “But I’m trying to just be confident in that. For me it’s my first time around being a mom and I kinda beat myself up over everything. I missed her first steps an that was really hard for me but it’s not like she walked every day that first step day, so OK, I kind of got to see them even though I didn’t. So that was really cool. I still kinda go back and look at those videos.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
