From celebrity moms to everyday moms, why and how mothers
stay at work and stay sane and happy The kids are sick but the boss needs the presentation on her
desk by ten. The parent-child kindergarten brunch can't be
missed, yet the business meeting beckons. When the only
thing she knows for sure is that her day will bring a new
set of challenges and priorities to be juggled, how does a
stay-at-work mom do it all? Wendy Sachs, stay-at-work mother of two, has interviewed
women from every walk of life- from celebrities like makeup
maven Bobbi Brown, designer Vera Wang, CNN's Soledad
O'Brien, the Today Show's Ann Curry to everyday moms from
all over the country-and has uncovered some inspiring
answers. For starters, some stay-at-work moms have given up
striving for balance; for true happiness and sanity,
integration is the real key. Others have discovered that
compartmentalization wearing different hats at different
times of day-is the only way to thrive. For all, the
psychological, emotional, and financial payback of work is
what keeps them feeling alive; even if they could afford not
to work (and many can afford the choice), they wouldn't have
it any other way. Demonstrating that a byproduct of having
career ambition is a happier marriage and family, How She
Really Does It will validate the millions of women now
attempting to"have it all," or at least some of it all the
time. Revealing the keys to staying-at-work, staying sane,
staying satisfied, and staying at the heart of her family as
well, How She Really Does It is a modern working woman's
handbook.
