A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Working Mom News: I am Attending the United State of Women Summit (#StateofWomen)

on

As you know, part of the reason I maintain this blog is to contribute to the national conversation about gender equality. Well, in addition to my blog readers, President Obama has been listening (or at least his people have)!

I was honored to learn that I have been selected to attend an upcoming event, "The United State of Women Summit". It's an event designed to convene thought leaders, government officials, and concerned citizens to discuss gender equality. I'm super excited to be selected. And I cannot wait to participate in this event.

Official Announcement:


Dear Chatón,
