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.

A Peek Into the Life of a Working Mom: My Inclusion in The Balance Project

on
A day at the office

 If you read this blog you know that I focus on my quest to balance working, motherhood, and marriage, in my stilettos.  I have been candid about the real struggles that  accompany that my quest. Indeed in a journey full of challenges, compromises, and joy. 

One of the things that I enjoy about blogging is that it connects me to spectacular women who are committed to making a difference. One of these women is Susie Schnall. Susie is, an author, mother, wife, writer and someone who is committed to helping working women.

The Balance Project

Susie recently featured me in an important work that is focused on helping women achieve balance. This work is "The Balance Project". Susie describes the "Balance Project" as a series of relevant and refreshingly candid interviews with inspiring and accomplished women talking about balance. 

I am honored to be included in this important discussion. Check out the interview and let me know your thoughts!
