GIVE US THREE WAYS TO BALANCE A
CAREER AND PARENTHOOD. First
of all, I think we have to look at
balance over our lifetimes and
not in a day or a week. It feels
impossible to do everything
is such a short space of time
— take care of the kids, your
partner, you, your work etc. —

WHAT’S YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE LIKE
AS A WORKING MOM? A sprint or a
marathon…I am never sure which but
it involves a lot of running around and
stamina! Most of all, I have learned to be
wholeheartedly in different moments so
that when I am with my kids, I am with
my kids, and then when I turn on work, I
am working. I have found that if I don’t do
this, everything muddles together and no
one is satisfied.
