the myth of balance: A Working Mom's Permission Slip to Stop Doing Everything. Start Living.

For every working mother who has cried in a parking lot and then walked into a meeting and absolutely nailed it - this book was written for you.The Myth of Balance is not another productivity book dressed in female empowerment clothing. It is a brutally honest, often funny, deeply practical guide to the real challenge of being a working mother: not doing more, but deciding - consciously, deliberately, on your own terms - what your time is actually for.Across ten chapters, you will unlearn the lies the wellness industry sold you, discover why the "strategic no" is the most powerful tool you own, learn how fifteen minutes used with intention beats a perfect morning routine every time, build a household that functions without you as the single point of failure, and finally understand the difference between guilt that is useful information and guilt that is just noise. This is not a book about becoming a different person. It is a book about making peace with the magnificent, overextended, deeply capable person you already are - and giving that person a fighting chance.Written with the honesty of personal experience, the rigour of research, and the humour of someone who has definitely sent a work email with the subject line "WHERE ARE MY KEYS" to forty-seven colleagues, The Myth of Balance is the book working mothers have been quietly desperate for.Because having it all was always the wrong goal.
