OK, we know ALL parents work, they just don't all get paid. For those of us that DO work for pay, are we thriving or just surviving?! Is parenting harder now than ever? Is that generational, or the pandemic? What gives? And how do we give...to ourselves, our families and our work in a way that feels fulfilling and sustainable? Today's episode will unpack just this.

Daisy Dowling is the Founder and CEO of Workparent, an executive coaching and training firm dedicated to helping working parents lead more successful and satisfying lives. She began Workparent with a simple, bold vision: that all working parents could succeed on the job and remain true to themselves while raising terrific kids -- and take pride in doing so. Her new book, "The Complete Guide to Succeeding on the Job, Staying True to Yourself, and Raising Happy Kids" has been called "the definitive guide for working parents". In addition, Daisy is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, the editor for The HBR Working Parents Series of books and her advice has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Sunday Times (UK), Bloomberg and CNN.

Together we break down the evolution of working parents through the past few generations, we discuss the challenges working parents face throughout the various ages of their children, we talk about finding flexibility within your workplace or when looking for a new opportunity, and tips on how to set up a contract with yourself, and boundaries, to ensure you are keeping all legs of your stool grounded. Enjoy this insightful, validating and timely conversation with Daisy about making the most out of your one unique life, both as a parent and a professional.
