(Balance Your Life

Are you a working mother who wants to find a balance between work, family and personal pursuits? Life coach Lisa Martin shows you how you can. In Briefcase Moms she shares ten powerful practices that have helped hundreds of career-oriented mothers achieve the right balance for them.

Lisa gained valuable insight into work-life balance through her personal experience of having a child mid-career and from years of coaching working moms. She presents a pragmatic and realistic process for managing the multiple demands of a career, a family and the often neglected you.

Briefcase Moms is a complete program of self-discovery and intentional change for working mothers who want to succeed in all the areas of their lives. Whatever your work arrangement and whatever your family situation, this book will strike a chord. But it is not just about career and children; it's about you, too. Who you are and what you want.

In a down-to-earth and engaging style, Lisa explains her tried-and-true practices of Simplification, Lightness, Well-Being, Discovery, Alignment, Liberation, Protection, Connection, Courage and Reflection. Each practice is supported by three intentions, which provide practical advice and journal writing exercises designed for both reflection and taking action. They aim to define and support balance in your complex life.

Briefcase Moms gives you the tools to:

� ensure your dual careers do not become dueling careers
� connect with your inner wisdom and get un-stuck
� identify and overcome defeating beliefs and fears
