Being a wife, mother, and career woman can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also be overwhelming at times. How do you juggle all these roles without sacrificing your own well-being and sanity? In this episode, we explore the challenges of finding balance in the modern world, where expectations are high, time is scarce, and the pressure to perform is constant.

I talk to Dr. Lenore Ntozake Schaffer, who continues to do her best to navigate this balancing act and share tips and strategies for making it work. From prioritizing self-care to setting boundaries to delegating responsibilities, there are many ways to achieve a healthy balance in your life. We also discuss the importance of communication and support from partners, family, and colleagues. 

Whether you're a working mom, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in between, this episode offers valuable insights and inspiration for anyone seeking to find harmony in their multiple roles. Join us as we explore the joys and challenges of being a wife, mother, and career woman.
