Susan: The Organizer, mother of four
“Working at a fast-paced job and raising my kids sometimes left me feeling off-kilter. After realizing that I could combine the skills I’d developed at work with an appreciation for the unpredictability of family life, I’ve come to find real joy as a stay-at–home mother.”

Anne: The Enthusiast, mother of twins and a boy
“I try to fully embrace every part of life — so sometimes I find myself stretched too thin. Achieving the right balance for me and my family has always been one of my greatest challenges. Not willing to give up on anything — work, family, friendships or hobbies — I’ve now learned to slow down and take time for me.”

Katrin: The Free Spirit, mother of three
“Because I find so much personal fulfillment from living in my imagination — reading, writing and creating art — family routines and responsibilities can be challenging for me. But I’ve finally come to value my strengths and make peace with not being perfect. So I find greater satisfaction in my role as a mother.”
