I grew up in Canada and now live in the UK with my husband and two teenage daughters. I have a foot firmly planted on each side of the Atlantic but must confess a significant disinterest in anything involving snow or rain. My bliss zone involves sunshine, sandy feet, palm trees and frozen strawberry daiquiris. Over the course of a 25-year career, I co-founded, grew and successfully sold three businesses: two in healthcare and one in recruitment. Alongside this, I navigated countless children's birthday parties, sports events, parent-teacher meetings and dentist appointments. In my spare time, I can be reliably found in our utility room discarding odd socks and my family's grey, ratty underwear when it gets eaten by the washing machine. Whilst juggling my career and family life, I often felt like I was failing on all fronts. Driven by a desire to find a better way - not just for myself but for my children - I returned to university in my forties to explore the issue of women's work-life balance. In 2022, I completed a PhD on women, work and well-being, and my book, Can Women Really Have it All? A Happiness Handbook for Working Mothers, is the culmination of that research.
