THIS IS NOT ANOTHER PERFECT ORGANIZATION MANUAL WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WITHOUT CHILDREN
If you're reading this, you probably:
This book does NOT promise to turn you into that mother who bakes homemade cookies while closing million-dollar contracts with one hand and doing yoga with the other.
What it DOES offer are real strategies for real women with 24-hour days and finite energy.
A family therapist, working mother, and survivor of chaos shares tools that work even when your child wakes up with a fever, your boss moves up a deadline, and your washing machine decides to die on the same day.
WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE
✓ How to identify what's stealing your time and energy without you noticing
✓ Flexible routines that withstand daily chaos
✓ Techniques for saying NO without feeling like the worst person in the world
✓ How to manage the guilt that no one names but we all feel
✓ Survival strategies for those seasons when everything falls apart
✓ Emergency plan for impossible days (yes, those when you end up crying in the bathroom)
And most importantly: PERMISSION to be imperfect, to need help, and to put your needs into the family equation without apologizing for it.

★★★★ "Powerful, necessary, and liberating"
"I couldn't remember the last time I sat down to eat without checking my phone or doing three things at once. The 'time blocking' techniques have transformed my relationship with work and my family. I'm no longer halfway present everywhere." - Maria P.
