Let’s face it - some women just look unstoppable. They raise great kids and maintain a killer relationship, while still driving toward their own goals and dreams. And honestly, they sparkle with joy in everything they do. Susie Orman Schnall, our very first guest on the Brilliant Balance podcast, got so curious about these women that she decided to interview a bunch of them!She curated those interviews in a series called The Balance Project which then inspired her novel by the same name. In fact, Susie has published three novels, winning a number of awards along the way, all while raising three boys and maintaining a great marriage with her husband. She approaches everything she does with a deep sense of purpose AND exuberant joy. You’ll love her.   In this episode, you’ll hear what she learned from the interviews she conducted and how she maintains her own level of brilliant balance: - How to keep intense projects from eroding your family life. (5:30) - Why being a “hot mess mom” isn’t something to be proud of. (9:45) - What to make space for in your life to enrich your relationships, career and health. (13:25) - What you can learn from doing intense workouts and athletic events.

Susie Orman Schnall, author of THE SUBWAY GIRLS, THE BALANCE PROJECT and ON GRACE, talks about work/life balance, careers, living in the moment and her writing habits. Her series of celebrity interviews about work/life balance has informed her discussion and made her realize that there is no one "right" way to do this! THE SUBWAY GIRLS, her latest novel, uses a dual story line to illustrate some compelling narratives and issues facing women over the past 100 years. 

Susie Orman Schall was financially content and lacked the motivation to rev up her writing career. Then a ’tough love’ conversation with a friend motivated her to get back to her A game. The mindset change resulted in phenomenal reviews and success for her latest novel, Subway Girls.  For more information, visit the show notes at https://www.bobbirebell.com/podcast/susieormanschnall
