Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of caring for their families, hustling at work, managing their households, and a million-and-one other tasks, chores, and responsibilities, it’s no wonder mom rage and mom guilt are at an all-time high. Working moms feel like they’re responsible for everything, but nothing they do matters. They are doing it all—but getting nowhere.This is a feeling I know well. A practicing pediatrician and mother of two daughters—including one with special needs—I tried to do it all for years…until one particularly bad week brought me to her knees, and then to a revelation: I couldn’t wait years for the systems of inequality and cultural pressures women face to change, I needed a plan to fix my life now. A plan that would help me stop over-functioning, stop blaming myself, and start creating a life that was centered on me. My values, my priorities, my vision of a purposeful, aligned life. Years later, I'm living my centered life and now I want to help you do the same.In Doing It All, I share my blueprint for achieving a centered life as a real working mom with real working mom problems. This is not about achieving a dazzling fantasy life of ease, wealth, and perfection, but a realistic life that is purposeful, organized, and aligned with your personal values. A life where you’re able to prioritize what really matters and where everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls? Yep. Time with your kids? Absolutely. Time for yourself? A top priority (yes, you read that right!).This has nothing to do with manifesting positive vibes. You won’t find a single affirmation here. Instead, you’ll discover a practical framework, step-by-step plan, and over forty targeted exercises, prompts, and activities to help you:Create a vision of your life that is centered on your values and goals and then break that vision into actionable priorities so you can start making it a reality. Implement systems to deal with the annoying-but-necessary “have-tos” in your life quickly and efficiently. De-clutter your home, your calendar, and your mind of meaningless, burdensome junk Develop equity in your relationship with your parenting partner Create and maintain boundaries around emotionally laden calls on your attention. Give your kids what they need to be healthy, happy, and successful—without giving away too much of yourself. Prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being with intentional scheduling and rest And more! Featuring powerful personal stories from real working moms, as well as quotes and interview excerpts from parenting experts, medical professionals, and mental health advocates, Doing It All meets working moms where they are, recognizes the personal and systemic challenges they face, and offers solutions that really work.

Working moms are feeling the pressure. The post-pandemic burnout is real and today I'm diving in to all of the factors that really contribute. I'm giving some serious transparency on my own opinions on what employers, and decision-makers can do to create equity in the workforce in order to accommodate caregiving workers instead of creating blanket statements for all. There has been TONS in the news lately in complete opposition of workplace equity, and with the mental health crisis of the world, I'm strongly suggesting that caregiving employees advocate for their own personal wellness—including managing all of your responsibilities outside of work, aka parenting-out-loud.
