Are you ever left wondering how other mums manage the delicate balance between work and motherhood? How do they handle the endless demands, the societal pressures to 'do it all,' and the guilt of feeling stretched too thin? Here's the truth: You're not alone. Author Sarah Maconachie shares her own journey and the stories of 17 other remarkable women who've faced these exact challenges. When Sarah returned to work as a mum of three, she was hit hard by the push-and-pull of wanting a fulfiling career while also being present for her children. She's now the founder and CEO of Work Hard Parent Hard, a platform dedicated to supporting parents in redefining their purpose and finding fulfilment without losing themselves to exhaustion and guilt. If you've ever found yourself overwhelmed, wondering if it's possible to balance a career you love with the joy of motherhood, this book is your lifeline. Through the personal and powerful stories of career-driven mums-CEOs, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and more-you'll see just how possible it is to flourish in both your professional life and your role as a mother. Meet the inspiring women: Sarah Maconachie, Vicky Wren, Tracey Vermaak, Stacey Webb, Cheryl Edwardes, Tania Gomez, Sarah Coleman, Kerry McNamee, Carla Lombardo, Lisa Younger, Ashley McGrath, Nicola Veal, Leisa Van Geest, Fiona Yue, Kate O'Hara, Sandra Morell, Alicia White, and Michelle Travis. From navigating challenging childhoods and single parenthood to overcoming career transitions and realising that personal development can be the most essential aspect to success as a working mum - these women have each found ways to create balance. They have challenged societal norms and the status Quo, realising what they feel they 'should' do isn't always the right way for them, and they have created their version of balance that works to thrive in their careers without sacrificing their role as a mother.
