When Christine Armstrong became a mother, it never occurred to her that she would want to stop work or even work part-time. But the truth is, combining work and small kids is hard. From the broken breast pumps on business trips, to hiding chicken pox from the nursery, to the heartbreak when you come home and realise your baby smells of the childminder. When Christine Armstrong tried it, she found herself desolate with misery. Determined to make it work, she looked for answers by interviewing other working mums and found that she wasn't alone.

The gap between what it's really like to be a woman and what people expect women to be is a primary cause of burnout, because we exhaust ourselves trying to close the space between the two. How can you 'love your body' when everything around you tells you you're inadequate? How do you 'lean in' at work when you're already giving 110 percent and aren't recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a world that is constantly telling you you're too fat, too needy, too noisy and too selfish?

Soothing voice and a fascinating subject
I'm writing this as a mum predominantly and as a fellow blogger. Firstly, the author Vicki narrates the book and honestly is the most professional reader and narrator. Really soothing and easy listening.
Secondly, as a blogger myself the subject is another level in interest. This book has allowed me to dream again that I, as a normal mum of 2, can work with huge national and international brands in organic and interesting campaigns in the sector I've always felt most comfortable, media! My only GCSE A!
I recommend this book on audible and in paper form too. 5 stars given across the board as the honesty, professionalism and multi level of information that I've not encountered in other books in the same genre.

Absolutely brilliant read. Vicki is inspiring and provides every little bit of advice you might need when heading into the world of blogging, writing, small business or another entrepreneurial/ creative career. I found her so motivational that I took the first steps towards a new career that very same day and the response has been amazing. I can't believe I put it off for so long. She really is an inspirational woman and this book is not to be missed if you need a giant kick up the bum to get yourself motivated and informed!
