We almost didn't include this section, because who in the world has balance? But then we realized that's exactly what we wanted to address. There is a myth out there that you can always strike a balance. We don't know if that's true. Now for those of you that think you've struck it, we want to know how! Share it with us!
What we've found is that there are days and moments of balance. But expecting it on a daily basis is to set ourselves up for failure. We love the power moms, we are proud of the power moms, and we envy them! For the rest of us, it's setting ourselves up to the best of our abilities. Check out our stories below and let us know your secrets!
