About this listen

Are you a working mother who feels frazzled and frenetic? This book is for you! Research shows that working mothers experience up to 40% more stress and that women’s happiness has been declining since the 1970s.

HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

Backed by compelling research and packed with actionable suggestions, this groundbreaking book answers the burning questions of working mothers today: Why do so many mothers feel chronically guilty? What actions can women take to improve their happiness? What changes do we need from society to improve women’s lives? Does working outside the home make mothers happier? Is part-time work the answer, or does it bring its own problems? What advice should we give to our children?

In a relatable and engaging way, Giselle explores society’s failed promise to women that they can ‘have it all’ and offers both hope and practical solutions to today’s work-life balance dilemma. Most importantly, she provides working mothers with some much-needed reassurance: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

Every Woman Should Read This Book

Can we have it all? It’s the eternal question for women living in this time, and Dr. Giselle Goodwin dives right into it with humour, insight and so much heart. If you’ve ever wondered what “having it all” really means or felt the weight of expectations pulling you in different directions, this is your book. I absolutely loved it. It made me reflect, question and feel empowered with this knowledge. Confirming what I’d often suspected on lots of areas and giving me new ideas that I’ve repeated to many women already. Giselle’s voice is beautiful, warm, engaging and so easy to listen to. This isn’t just a book, it’s a conversation we all need to be having. Tell your friends to read it and have a lively debate as every woman should know what Giselle shares! Essential listening for those of us ready to explore what’s really holding us back and how we move forward.

Finally - A research backed book about modern motherhood!

A powerful, honest read that speaks straight to the heart of working motherhood. As the host of Mama’s Flightpath, where we explore the return-to-work journey, I found Giselle’s insights and research deeply resonant. This book helps you redefine what having it all really means—on your own terms. A must-read for any woman navigating career and motherhood.
