I used to cringe whenever anyone asked me if I had read Sheryl Sandberg’s book, Lean In. I thought taking career advice from a woman who led a privileged life and is out of touch with the real lives of working women would be a huge mistake.
Her book just added to the confusion many women face when it comes to work-life balance.
The question we keep asking ourselves is:

I stopped at a coffee shop the other morning and was shocked to see how long the line for coffee was for the drive-through. So, I parked my car and went inside to order.
