The Juggler
I am… the one who is expected to hold it all together: family, work, the calendar, sex life, and on and on. I am also the one who, at times, teeters on the edge of sanity because I am expected to hold it all together: family, work, the calendar, sex life, and on and on.
The Skeptic
I am… not yet married, not yet a mother. But the closer I get to my inevitable fate, the less sure I become. Is working for “the man”, then coming home to the man and his kids, all what it’s cracked up to be? Maybe. I don’t know yet. To be honest, I’m skeptical.
The Seeker
I am… always searching. But exactly what I’m searching for is hard to describe. I am a stay-at-home, working mother who has not yet found what I was looking for when I first chose to stay-at-home. But seek and ye shall find. So I will continue to seek.
The Dad
I am… a father and a husband. I am the good, and the bad, in a working woman’s life. I understand your frustration… to a point. I love you with all my heart. But please stop whining. If you need a shoulder to cry on, I’m here for you. Just don’t block my view of the TV.

Testimonials

“I initially met the founder of LifeWork Alliance, Christina by accident; she was a friendly face that I happened to strike up a conversation with. We got into a “life” conversation about how our society requires two incomes and it was not as it was in the old days. I shared with her my ambivalence about having a family because I did not want to give up my career that I worked so hard to create. Besides the fact that she was so understanding, her feedback was so practical and useful, it left me knowing that I did not have to give up either life goal. This was my first encounter. It only got better from there. I find that when a problem seems overwhelming, you believe that the solution has to be huge and at times you just say forget it. Christina makes big problems seem simple to manage. I can’t wait to take her classes when I move in the direction of having a family.”
