Podcast appearances and mentions of christine armstrong

We've been sold a lie: that working parents can “have it all” if they just work hard enough. Today, we're tearing that fantasy to shreds. Danusia Malina-Derben PWT host is in conversation with journalist and author Christine Armstrong. They get  brutally honest about the impossible expectations of juggling kids, careers, and sanity. Burnout isn't a personal failure—it's a rigged system that needs changing. They talk about the silent struggles, the real costs of trying to “do it all,” and why it's not you failing, it's the structure. Tune in to blow up the myth and start demanding better.

My guest today is Christine Armstrong, a keynote speaker, researcher, and author focused on the world of work. Over the past four and a half years, she has produced more than 200 videos in her weekly vlog, addressing major work-related topics such as hybrid working models and the role of AI in productivity. Each Friday morning, over 6,000 viewers from more than 20 countries tune in to gain insights into the future of work. Christine is also the author of The Mother of All Jobs: How to Have Children and a Career and Stay Sane(ish), published in 2018. This book is based on six years of interviews with working parents, employers, leadership experts, and caregivers. We begin our discussion by exploring the recent trend of larger companies implementing Return to Office (RTO) policies and the public's reactions to these changes. Christine references U.S. research indicating that 43% of Americans would prefer to divorce their partner rather than return to the office full-time! She highlights that flexibility is often sacrificed for what she terms “endless contactability,” where employees feel compelled to check emails late into the evening. Unfortunately, many older male leaders, who have benefited from traditional work models, struggle to understand this shift. Christine also cites research by Nick Bloom, which shows that since the pandemic, companies have begun hiring from broader geographical areas, resulting in doubled commute times and making full-time office work less appealing. She predicts that we will see a variety of working arrangements tailored to each company's brand and talent pool. In terms of making the most of time spent in the office, Chistine's advice is to be strategic about using that time: use it to build strong networks, figure out ‘who do I want a relationship with?', ‘how do I build that?'    We hear a lot now about the importance of personal branding and I ask Christine for her advice on how to do this when we have been socialised not to brag about our achievements and doing it gives us the ick? First of all, she suggests we initially have to accept and get comfortable with the fact that some people just won't be ‘our people.'  Her second piece of advice is to imagine talking about ourselves to our friends - if what we're saying feels uncomfortable it's probably too showy, but if you talk about what you're good at and it's objectively true, then go for it! If you can, use humour, and vulnerability always tends to endear your audience to you.    I ask Christine about AI in the workplace and where she sees this having the most impact on the workplace in the next 5 years.  Her response was that some jobs will require people who can manage the AI in combination with very strong technical skills (using AI to enhance what they are doing already), many other roles will require strong communication skills, ability to make ethical decisions, and to be able to strategize. I was interested late last year when I saw Christine talking about how she and her husband use an adapted version of the ‘Workshop your life' methodology to plan out their year ahead. As Christine advises, we need to stop seeing work and life as separate and start to view it as one system and think about the whole and how it all fits together.  Doing this exercise once a year helps them to tackle tricky issues but not in the heat of the moment and get aligned so that they are not constantly bumping up against negotiating those difficult conversations when flashpoints occur. I've included a few links below in case you feel like giving it a try yourself!    We conclude by discussing the current trends Christine and her team are exploring, particularly the rising unpredictability, polarization, and stress levels in today's world. In uncertain times, people tend to adopt black-and-white thinking, become more anxious, and prioritize immediate concerns. Therefore, the role of leaders is crucial; they must provide reassurance, clarity, and effective communication.   You can find more on Christine and her work at https://www.armstrongpartners.co.uk/ and if you fancy watching her weekly vlogs, sign up to her newsletter, or watch via her LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechristinearmstrong/  Find out more about how to Workshop your Life here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/relationships-are-the-source-of-results_workshop-your-life-9-exercises-for-high-quality-activity-7271839576732712960-LkXo/   The Year Compass (https://yearcompass.com/) is another good option.    If you enjoy the podcast please help us grow by sharing this episode, or writing a review.

She is known to 'blow up the bullshit about working parenting and dig into the truth about what works and what really doesn't.' You might have read her piece in the Times that went viral called 'why working mums are being sold an impossible dream about work/life balance — and how to set the record straight' a piece promoting the publication of her brilliant book The Mother of All Jobs: How to Have Children and a Career and Stay Sane(ish). We recorded this episode pre-pandemic, and since then Christine has been researching tirelessly our response to working from home en masse and asking what people want to happen as the world of work continues to change.

Murder suspect Kaitlin Armstrong, has been on the run for a month. She was last seen at a Newark Airport. Now a private investigator is telling Fox News that Armstrong could possibly be traveling under her sister's name. Jason Jensen says that he believes Armstrong is using the alias “Christine Armstrong.” He says he has given US Marshal's information that three days after Armstrong was seen in the New York area, a new driver's license popped up in public records under Christine Armstrong's name, using the address of a Haven For Humanity Wellness center in Livingston Manor, New York. Haven for Humanity has confirmed that Christine Armstrong is a volunteer for the company and is currently staying at its New York compound. An unnamed camper claimed to Fox News that he saw Kaitlin Armstrong at Camp Haven around a month ago.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: James Shelnutt - 27 years Atlanta Metro Area Major Case Detective, Former S.W.A.T. officer, Attorney (Gadsden, AL), The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C., ShelnuttLawFirm.com, Twitter: @ShelnuttLawFirm   Dr. Shari Schwartz - Forensic Psychologist specializing in Capital Mitigation and Victim Advocacy (Miami Beach, FL), Panthermitigation.com, Twitter: @TrialDoc, Author: "Criminal Behavior" and "Where Law and Psychology Intersect: Issues in Legal Psychology"  Sheryl McCollum - Forensic Expert, Founder: Cold Case Investigative Research Institute in Atlanta, GA, ColdCaseCrimes.org, @ColdCaseTips  Dr. Jeffrey M.

New polling shows that, in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting, the Texas gubernatorial race has tightened between Gov. Greg Abbott and Democratic challenger Beto O'Rourke. Kaitlin Armstrong, on the run now for over a month in connection with the shooting death of pro cyclist Anna Moria Wilson, may be going by her sister Christine Armstrong's name in New York - she also may have fled to Canada. Austin Police are searching for 11 year old Eimi Estrada, who has been missing since Monday and was last seen in the North Plaza/Rundberg area of North Austin. A 17-year-old with an extensive criminal record was shot by a man he was trying to rob in a Domain parking lot on Tuesday. Austin is rated highly among "equity-rich" metros - meaning that relatively few Austin homeowners owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth. Texas and Oklahoma, said to be departing the Big 12 for the SEC by 2025, have reportedly moved that goal up a year to 2024. Singer Zac Collier, a Texas A&M alum, has been cut from a National Anthem performance at the College World Series after being seen flashing the anti-UT "horns down" hand sign at the Women's College World Series, in which Texas Softball was a competitor. Weekend live music: Friday shows include Pride At Swan Dive with Sabrina Ellis and more, Tameca Jones in what she bills as her "last public performance" at Antone's, Viben and the Submersibles at the Mohawk, Broncho at Empire Control Room, and Casey Donahew at the Haute Spot. Saturday sees The Crystal Method at The Venue ATX, Ty Segall at the Mohawk, Slaid Cleaves at The 04 Center, and Crystal Gayle at the Haute Spot. Sunday, the Stay Black And Live music festival day features Ivy Rootz, Charmin Greene, Mama Duke, WC Clark and tons more at the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center. Austin weather: we snapped a streak of consecutive triple-digit days that lasted over a week on Wednesday, but we're back at it today with a high of 101 expected, and similar and likely longer streaks of 100+ heat are likely coming throughout the summer.

Christine's life turned upside down in 2009 after she gave birth to her first child. She found it difficult to juggle her new life as a mother and continue to excel in her career. Things didn't get any easier as her family grew. Christine decided the only way to find answers was to conduct research on how mothers balance their life at home with their careers. The results were shocking - the truth was, most mothers struggled and Christine wasn't alone. The Mother of All Jobs was published in 2018 and it brings together the wisdom of the women who opened up about everything into a manifesto for happy professional families. Her book shines a light on the damage social media can have on new mothers and brings them hope that having children and a successful career is possible. Follow Christine on Instagram and Twitter.

Do you feel like you've been hearing the same conversations about working parents for years, yet not enough has changed? This week my guest, Christine Armstrong, shares how she's on a mission to blow apart the LIES about working parents and instead dig into the truths of what actually works. There's a false narrative that if you just work harder everything will be fine, regardless of the struggles of balancing motherhood with a career. While you may feel you're alone in these struggles, this is not the case. Yet having this conversation with other women can only take us so far. For real progress to be made we need to engage men and leadership as well. Christine discusses how we can achieve this, while also providing tips & strategies that will help you stay sane(ish) as a working parent.

She appeared on such TV shows as Captain Midnight (1954) and Annie Oakley (1954) and at the age 12, she made her professional film debut in the Rock Hudson/Cornell Borchers tearjerker Never Say Goodbye (1956) as Hudson's daughter, and went on to play kid sister roles in the rock 'n' roll-themed Rock, Pretty Baby! (1956) and its sequel Summer Love (1957) both starring John Saxon. Early TV appearances included the Producers' Showcase adaptation of Our Town starring Frank Sinatra and Paul Newman. She was Young Cathy in a Matinee Theatre adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Teen-idol status came with her coming-of-age role as the ever-wholesome daughter "Mary Stone" on The Donna Reed Show (1958).

Before we begin - Click the following link to subscribe to the New Leaf Nutshell, breaking down the most controversial of motherhood topics and doing all the Googling, so you don't have to. This month, I'm debunking Sleep Training and exploring its murky waters, as we discover the secret (or lack thereof)... of getting your tiny terror to sleep --> https://newleafpodcast.substack.com/p/the-new-leaf-nutshell-should-i-sleep?r=aze8z&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&utm_source=copy   I am over the moon to have the amazing writer, vlogger, speaker and consultant Christine Armstrong joining New Leaf. Christine is a mother of three, and author of the incredibly successful book, Mother of All Jobs, which explores the battle to make modern parenting actually work - from fertility all the way up to having school age kids and balancing lengthy school holidays with working hours, our relationships, our careers and our own sanity whilst also trying to be there for our kids . Not a particularly easy subject - and one she battles through whilst also managing to make you laugh and want to be her friend, of course.  What Christine also talked about at length, is the absolutely essential role our partners play in navigating this minefield. In New Leaf, I've so far rather neglected talking about our other halves, which I know seems a bit mad as obviously it takes two to tango, and is so essential to modern feminism, in terms of making parenting more equal. Christine really, really made me think hard about this afterwards. In the episode, she talks a lot about her mum, a 1970s feminist who had strong ideals about her daughters not ever ending up being dependent on a partner, and there is a moment where she talks about her mum's desire that she ‘married well' - something I misunderstood initially, as I thought she was basically saying marry rich - but instead she talks about basically marrying a decent human being, who actively wants to be involved in the parenting and wants to be actively supportive of whatever your choices are following a baby. And if they aren't your partner any more, someone who still parents equally can make all the difference to your professional and personal life. We discuss where life, relationships, babies, jobs and society all crash into each other - and everything in between. Introducing, Christine.

In this episode, I talk to Christine Armstrong, the founder of Armstrong & Partners and a researcher, consultant and writer, about the future of work.I became aware of Christine's work through her fantastic vlogs, which she publishes every week on LinkedIn. They cover all matter subjects related to work and life, including the perils of Zoom, the pain of homeschooling, and the problem of assuming that flexible work is the answer to all our work/life challenges.She also offers a refreshing take on some of the steps organisations need to take to make work better, and I enjoy not just her videos but her writing on the subject. As well as her book, Mother of All Jobs, released in 2018, Christine also writes for the Telegraph, Grazia, and Management Today, amongst others.There are plenty of folks throwing around platitudes and empty opinions at the moment related to work and how that intersects with our personal lives. I think you'll discover in this podcast that Christine is not one of those people. We chatted about the difference between flexible and remote work, burnout, and how businesses need to think about redesigning work at an organisational, team and individual level. Plus, how business models affect our understanding of the way we expect people to work - specifically, the problems with using TIME as the primary output.LINKS:Christine's LinkedIn profileArmstrong & PartnersFuture Work/Life newsletter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Do you feel like you’ve been hearing the same conversations about working parents for years, yet not enough has changed? This week my guest, Christine Armstrong, shares how she’s on a mission to blow apart the LIES about working parents and instead dig into the truths of what actually works. There’s a false narrative that if you just work harder everything will be fine, regardless of the struggles of balancing motherhood with a career. While you may feel you’re alone in these struggles, this is not the case. Yet having this conversation with other women can only take us so far. For real progress to be made we need to engage men and leadership as well. Christine discusses how we can achieve this, while also providing tips & strategies that will help you stay sane(ish) as a working parent.

If you're a working parent, you won't need telling that this isn't really working. You might not, however, be aware that it's not working for pretty much everybody. In her research for The Mother of All Jobs, Christine Armstrong uncovered a conspiracy of silence that means every working mother feels uniquely incompetent when in fact the system is fundamentally broken. But even if this topic isn't of burning interest to you, Christine's warts-and-all account of how she wrangled her material into book shape and the support systems she created to make the writing possible are invaluable for any writer.

She is a mum of 3, Contributing Editor to Management Today and also a co-founder of a communications consultancy. Her message is clear; if you're struggling with working and motherhood you're not alone and it's not your fault. We have an honest, practical and at times funny discussion on this topic which is at the heart of so many of our lives and yet often goes unspoken. We discuss: - The reality of working and motherhood - We discuss why it is the system fundamentally failing and not us as mothers. - What needs to change; how society has shifted, but the systems in place for childcare and education for children aren't meeting our needs. - Who the happiest people are in the modern system of work and parenting. Learn why those that aren't in fixed patterns and are flexible are the most happy. - How to live a life with competing demands and practical solutions.
