From celebrity mums to everyday mums, why and how mothers stay at work and stay sane and happy The kids are sick but the boss needs the presentation on her desk by ten. The parent-child creche brunch can't be missed yet the business meeting beckons. When the only thing she knows for sure is that her day will bring a new set of challenges and priorities to be juggled, how does a stay-at-work mum do it all? Wendy Sachs, working mother of two, has interviewed women from every walk of life - from celebrities like make-up artist Bobbi Brown and designer Vera Wang, to everyday mums - and uncovered some inspiring answers. For starters, some stay-at-work mums have given up striving for balance; for true happiness and sanity, integration is the real key. Others have discovered that compartmentalization - wearing different hats at different times of day - is the only way to thrive. For al, the psychological, emotional and financial payback of work is what keeps them feeling alive; even if they could afford not to work (and many can afford the choice), they wouldn't have it any other way.
Demonstrating that a by-product of having career ambition is a happier marriage and family, How She Really Does It will validate the millions of women now attempting to "have it all" or at least some of it all the time. Revealing the keys to staying-at-work, staying sane, staying satisfied and staying at the heart of the family as well, How She Really Does It is a modern working woman's handbook.
