Join us as Carly shares her powerful insights on how we can release feelings of overwhelm, guilt and not feeling good enough because we are working part time and feel like we are failing both at home and at work.

There is another way, a way to feel valued, to be present both at home and at work and to be fulfilled in all aspects of our lives.

Listen now to learn all about it.
