Bailiff said it caught her off guard when she saw a video that documented all she had done.
\"At the moment, I was just like, I'll just go and do it, and then when my sister made the video, it just kind of put everything in perspective,\" Bailiff said, adding, \"I just felt like a superhero.\"
She said the video and the response to it online also put in perspective for her all that women can do.
\"Women are just so capable of doing whatever we can to accomplish our goals and still be a mom and still have career goals as well,\" Bailiff said. \"So, it was really cool to watch.\"
