Discover how to stop doing it all and start doing what matters with
this step-by-step guide to reclaiming your life as a working mom,
written by an expert in maternal and child health. Â
Today’s working moms are burnt out, overwhelmed, and just plain
stuck. Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of caring for
their families, hustling at work, managing their households, and a
million-and-one other tasks, chores, and responsibilities, it’s
no wonder mom rage and mom guilt are at an all-time high. Working
moms feel like they’re responsible for everything, but nothing
they do matters. They are doing it all—but getting nowhere.
 This is a feeling Dr. Whitney Casares knows well. A
practicing pediatrician and mother of two daughters—including one
with special needs—she tried to do it all for years…until one
particularly bad week brought her to her knees, and then to a
revelation: she couldn’t wait years for the systems of inequality
and cultural pressures women face to change, she needed a plan to
fix her life now. A plan that would help her stop over-functioning,
stop blaming herself, and start creating a life that was centered
on her. Her values, her priorities, her vision of a
purposeful, aligned life. Years later, Dr. Whitney is living her
centered life and now she wants to help you do the same. Â In
Doing It All, Dr. Whitney shares her blueprint for achieving a
centered life as a real working mom with real working mom problems.
This is not about achieving a dazzling fantasy life of ease,
wealth, and perfection, but a realistic life that is purposeful,
organized, and aligned with your personal values. A life where
you’re able to prioritize what really matters and where
everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls? Yep. Time
with your kids? Absolutely. Time for yourself? A top priority (yes,
you read that right!). Â This has nothing to do with
manifesting positive vibes. You won’t find a single affirmation
here. Instead, you’ll discover a practical framework,
step-by-step plan, and over forty targeted exercises, prompts, and
activities to help you: Â Create a vision of your life that
is centered on your values and goals and then break that vision
into actionable priorities so you can start making it a reality.
