Dr. Anne Welsh joins us today to talk about why we should be dropping the ball intentionally to survive and thrive as working moms. Anne is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, and consultant who started her career at Harvard before opening her own practice with a focus on supporting working parents in growing their careers and families. 

Today we discuss… 

• Five common struggles of working moms
• Feeling alone as a mom 
• Why we might be conditioned to put ourselves last
• The “ambitious identity paradox”
• The biggest myths and misconceptions about “balance” that set working mothers up for failure (and what to believe instead)
• Dropping the ball and knowing whether it is glass or rubber
• The importance of knowing yourself and your values in parenting and at work (and how to figure out what those are!)
• The “secret gift” of parenting and how it can be the most fertile ground for professional development
