I firmly believe this idea of having a family & work life balance is a myth. There is no perfect balance to be achieved here. Anyone who says they have this sorted and can perfectly balance it all is either lying to you or lying to themselves. 

That being said, I do think there are some things we can do to make this easier on ourselves. I've gathered some of the most frequently asked questions I receive from women just like you, and I'm going to cover this topic by answering some of those for you in this episode.

Episode Highlights

• The truth about a family & work life balance
• How to set boundaries between work time and family time
• How to work at home with littles
• How to keep mom guilt at bay when you feel like you're not doing enough
• Where to connect with others who are also just doing their daily best

But I found the rhythm, and I've got the strategies to help your ladies create some breathing room. So, if you're organizing an event, whether it's a conference, church gathering, or retreat, and you want a speaker who brings humor, real talk, and a dose of inspiration, I'm your girl.
