We’re bringing you a favorite episode of “That’s a Good Question” as we prepare for this week’s Pennsylvania Conference for Women. We hope you take away some great tips for your own work/life struggle! — The pandemic brought new meaning to the “sandwich generation,” leaving women, in particular, stretched thinner than ever. This month’s listener finds herself in a seemingly impossible situation: She’s the family breadwinner caring for two young children, a husband with a chronic illness, elderly parents—and she just got a promotion at work. How can she manage to stay afloat and keep all these balls in the air without risking her career? In this episode of Women Amplified’s “That’s a Good Question,” we help our listener talk through the situation and figure out her next steps. Through active problem-solving, practical advice, and shared experiences we will explore how to manage this “in between” phase, strategies to keep it together, minimize overwhelm, and avoid burnout. You will leave re-energized, inspired and ready to put solutions in place.
