A decade before the pandemic, in a period when terms like family caregiver, self-care and hybrid work schedules weren’t common, women compartmentalized their roles (good daughter, working mother, dutiful wife) and attempted to be all things to all people. Stifled by the stigma of being “uncommitted” associated with using FMLA, and sandwiched at work between boomers and millennials, and at home between caring for an elderly Father and her own family, author, Sarahbeth Persiani writes an intimate account of personal and professional personas unraveling.
By no means prescriptive, with honesty, humility, and a smattering of 1970's throwback references, this story offers relatable insights into one woman's transformation with lessons for us all.
