Working motherhood is one of the greatest juggling acts there is—and if you’re feeling like one dropped ball could send everything crashing down, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Armstrong, seasoned marketing executive, author, and mom, to talk about what it actually looks like to navigate a full-time career while raising kids—and how to do it in a way that’s sustainable, intentional, and aligned with what matters most.

Sarah brings not just wisdom from her book, The Art of the Juggling Act, but decades of real-life experience. From setting clear boundaries at work (and communicating them without guilt), to putting her laptop away on purpose, to giving herself permission to shift her work hours around her family, this conversation is packed with honest reflections and practical strategies.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

  • Why communicating your boundaries is just as important as setting them
  • How to manage “Grace time” (and what that really means)
  • What transference of hours looks like and how it supports working moms
  • Why removing your laptop and phone from view can shift your presence at home
  • How small intentional shifts add up to feeling more in control
