We're navigating a once-in-a-generation shift as women balancing careers and motherhood. Understanding our place in history helps us recognize we're not alone in wanting both professional success and present parenting.

• Within just one generation, women have moved from needing male cosigners for bank accounts to comprising half the workforce
• Until the 1960s, it was legal to refuse employment to women solely because of their gender
• Most families today require two incomes, yet our subconscious programming still creates guilt around working motherhood
• We are actively redefining what "having it all" means for our generation, breaking away from historical constraints
• Finding your tribe of like-minded women is essential for support, sharing insights, and creating new possibilities
• Understanding our role in this generational shift empowers us to create new patterns for our children

The Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance Institute

For women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.

We know high achievers, because we are one. This podcast draws on Jo's 20 years in global leadership and thousands of hours coaching executives and ambitious women: the patterns she sees, how to untangle them, and what it actually takes to keep your success without paying for it with yourself.

If something landed today, there's more where that came from.

And if you know a woman this would resonate with, send it her way.
