Balancing Work, Kids, and My Last Nerve: A Real-Life Guide to Working, Parenting, and Not Falling Ap

Ever cry in the laundry room over a missing sock? Hide in the bathroom just to check your emails in peace? Feel like you're raising kids, managing a career, and somehow also responsible for everyone else's lost water bottles, forgotten permission slips, and emotional well-being?

Yeah, same.

In Balancing Work, Kids, and My Last Nerve, author, nonprofit founder, and mom Corrie invites you into the beautiful chaos of modern motherhood where guilt sneaks in with your morning coffee, your child's school project is due tomorrow, and "balance" feels more like a cruel inside joke. With humor, honesty, and the emotional depth of someone who's been there (with snacks), this book explores the raw, real-life struggles of working moms trying to do it all, and learning that "doing it all" is overrated.

Through personal stories, hard-won wisdom, and laugh-out-loud moments, Corrie tackles everything from the invisible load, boundaries, burnout, and redefining what being a good parent really means. This book isn't a to-do list or a pep talk wrapped in toxic positivity, it's a friend in book form, here to remind you that you're not failing, you're just doing something really freaking hard.

So if you've ever questioned your worth while reheating your coffee for the third time, or wondered if showing up tired but trying still counts, this book is for you.
