Boy, did this book make me feel seen. Highly recommend reading this if you’d like validation about how hard it is to balance life when you’re a working mom. This gave me some great ideas on how to change my mind set. There were some tools I knew about but some new insight I hope to start practicing

Today, there are so many parents that are working full time, while also trying to raise a family. Gone are the times where one parent stays home to manage the household. As a working parent, you need to figure out how to navigate the relationship between your home and work life as both are quite demanding. This book, Work, Parent, Thrive presents research based strategies to be a successful working parent. This book is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Some of the important information in the book includes: how to adopt more mindfulness in our lives, how to eliminate meaningless/less important obligations on our time, and looking at and embracing what we really value. I highly recommend this book to all working parents. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

I'm a working mom of two little ones and so the concept of this book was initially very exciting for me. The overall theme as I understood it is "mindful parenting", and changing the way we perceive and react to things we can't control. This makes so much sense, rather than living all the time in a frustrating world of trying to fix what we can't really change. There is some great advice here and lots of various anecdotes. I did find the book to be pretty repetitive and wordy, which made it hard for me to connect. For this reason, I wasn't able to get all the way through it.
