For those who work and also parent, it’s not uncommon to feel like you’re floundering at both. This is exactly how psychology professor and family therapist Yael Schonbrun felt when her two worlds of work and parenting collided. As she navigated her way through it, she learned some practical strategies from clinical psychology and social science to help her balance all of the meaningful roles in her life. In her new book, Work, Parent, Thrive, she shares how we can shift our experience with an inside-out approach to solving the working parent dilemma.
