Being a mom is hard enough. Being a working mom is just as hard. Paula's honesty about how hard this is refreshing. This is a great read (or listen in my case) about how moms got to this point, and how we can find our way moving on. Paula really put her heart into this and it shows.

I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of this book and am thrilled I was able to access an early release copy of the audiobook. Paula did a fabulous job shining a light on moms and empowering us to call on our village. Thank you Paula for writing this!

A beacon of light for working moms, You Don’t Have to Carry It All offers a much-needed perspective on balancing the demands of career and family. As a successful journalist and former co-host of Good Morning America and The View, Faris knows firsthand the challenges faced by women juggling multiple roles.
Beyond sharing her personal experiences and practical advice on how to navigate the guilt, pressure, and exhaustion that often accompany the working-mom life, Paula lays bare the often misunderstood history of working moms in America and its impact today, encourages moms to link arms, not only with each other but also with men, and proves why corporate America is better with moms at the helm.
While this is a must-read for any working mom looking for encouragement and solidarity, I’d press it into the hands of all business leaders, regardless of gender or parental status. Her recommendations to employers for giving working moms the support they desperately need are simple, spot on, and sure to transform companies for the better.
