How to Find Work-Life Balance

The Connected Mom

Balance sounds good...but is it really possible to achieve as a busy mom? We talk with Lisa Grimes, a CEO with experience juggling all the balls of life as a working mom, wife, executive, and friend. She takes time to show us different kinds of "balls" that are in our lives and how we can keep balance...which means knowing the value of each ball and what can drop.
