New work-life blog introduced in September
We’re excited to introduce a new blog on your EAP/Work-Life website called Work-Life, written by Molly Brennan, the mother of three young children, a full-time executive recruiter working in the nonprofit sector and a former journalist. Molly posts twice weekly about her own journey toward work-life balance.
“My husband and I both work full-time,” she writes, “and as I’m sure many of you know full well, it’s not easy to juggle a demanding job and be fully present and active at home. There are days when I feel like I’m failing at both, but there are also days when I think that I’ve finally got it figured out. I think that’s what work-life balance is all about: Figuring out what works best for you and your family and accepting that some days, nothing will work at all.”
This month, Molly writes about the end-of-summer blues, the ambition trap, family dinners, and more. Follow along on your EAP/Work-Life website!
