In the socialverse, working moms come across as a strong, got-it-together supermom who can tackle any challenge with a smile. You would think working moms have got it all together. But IRL (in real life) working moms can also use some encouragement and inspiration just to make it through the day.
Between board room meetings and laundry, working moms struggle to find the perfect balance between career and family. Personally, I’m starting to wonder whether that perfect balance will ever be achieved. For me, keeping it together without crying in the car is the new having it all. And I’m okay with that.
