Ivanka Trump shared the key life lesson she learned while balancing family life and politics and explained why she doesn't regret leaving her White House posts.
The mother of three, who chose not to take an advisory position during her father, Donald Trump's, second term, told David Senra's podcast that after making similar decisions for herself and her family, she has never regretted her choice. "If you don't know who you are, the world will tell you, and it may not be the answer you want to hear," Ivanka said.
«The world is a noisy place, especially when you're under a lot of scrutiny; it affects you as much as it perceives you, so I think you have to work on really getting to know yourself and figuring out what works for you.».

She continued: «Some of the hardest decisions I’ve made – and sometimes it really comes down to saying no, setting boundaries, changing course – when those decisions, no matter how difficult, are aligned with my values, it’s always rewarding.«.
Ivanka added that while making such decisions "can be difficult," "you never second-guess them, you never second-guess your decision, and you never look back and wonder, 'What if?'"«
«It’s the decisions you make when they don’t feel right, when they don’t align with your true self, your core values – I think you always regret it later,« she concluded.
