raw, vulnerable, empowering, and the gut punch every working mom needs

This is a 5 star read. My househould is structured identical to Sam and Lorettas.

Loretta has given me perspective on slowing down, being present, but not feeling guilty for my passion of executive level leadership.

Sam has inspired me to calm down, reset my expectations, and remember that a dirty room does not mean my husband did not uphold his part of the deal. He has also reminded me that while I may feel my day is a heavier load, running a home and the kids schedule is just as stressful and I should appreciate that more.

My husband and I are going to start scheduling a day of the week where intimacy is non negotiable.

If you are a boss female, have kids, and a spouse, this is the perfect book to help you reevaluate how you structure your life, and make sure everyone gets the best version of yourself.
