Are you trying to figure out this work-life balance thing everyone seems to talk about as a working mom? It seems to be a worthy pursuit to reach for in life. Who doesn't want to feel a sense of balance as a mom managing marriage, parenting, business and more, right? On the surface, striving to create work-life balance appears valuable and well-intended. Yet often, it's a trap. So many moms who are searching for purpose, chasing happiness and trying to find work-life balance are miserable. When we dig a little deeper, we find that this seemingly "good thing" can be an incredibly overwhelming stressor. Chasing work-life balance often causes us unnecessary pain and suffering and holds us back from fully living our lives.
