Today's working mums are burned-out, overwhelmed, and just plain stuck. Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of motherhood, work, household management, and a million-and-one everyday tasks, chores, and responsibilities, they truly are doing it all—but getting nowhere. They think they're out of options—but they're wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Whitney tried to do it all for years, until one particularly bad week brought her to her knees, and then, to a revelation: It wasn't her that was broken, it was her system. She needed a new system, a plan of action that would look squarely at all the common problems of working mum life—over-scheduling, inequitable partnerships, lack of boundaries, lack of support—recognise the social and cultural causes behind them, and give her the tools and structure she needed to tackle the chaos, find her work-life balance, and start living a life that worked for her. In \u003ci\u003eDoing It All\u003c\/i\u003e, she shares that system with you, a system that will help you prioritise what really matters and where everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls?
