I really wanted to own my life again; I wanted my life back.” —Suzanne Brown   “Not all of us can spend 24/7, 52 weeks year with our significant others, so having that work to still keep you engaged can be very important—but it can actually keep you happier… In all of the many bits of research that I did, I found it really interesting that part time working moms are actually happier than full time working moms and stay-at-home moms.” —Suzanne Brown   “There is a kind of a mind shift that has to happen, because when you go to work part-time, it's generally not just cutting your hours. You have to think differently about working part-time. You have to think about your productivity a little bit differently.” —Suzanne Brown   “All of the generations are coming at it from a different approach but their end goal is the same. ‘I want more work-life balance. I want more control over my schedule. I want more time with my family." And that might not necessarily be with their kids. It might be with grandkids, or it might be with their aging parents. It looks different based on who you're talking to.” —Suzanne Brown   “In all the conversations that I had when I was in grad school or as a college age student, I didn't really hear about work-life balance… That just wasn't a constant conversation that I was having. But I think that if we can get that information out there, we can learn from each other.” —Suzanne Brown   Resources Mompowerment The Mompowerment Community on Facebook and Twitter Writing from Laura Vanderkam

You’ll hear about the interviews Suzanne has conducted with over a hundred working moms (and counting!) about how they created their own part-time and flexible work situations without having to take a step back in their careers. She describes the amazing variety of solutions other working moms have used to create more time for their families and themselves. You’ll receive some tips you can use to begin to craft your own part-time schedule, even if you work for a demanding company, and even if no one else in your organization is doing it.
