Published: March 13, 2018, 6 a.m.

b'Working moms deal with a lot of pressure inside the home and in the office. That\\u2019s why Dr. Meg thought it would be great to tackle this issue of finding a really healthy work-life balance.

Christy and Rahcel are world-class speakers, best-selling authors, working professionals, wives to their husbands, and also mothers. They have great advice for moms who feel called to work, but also do not want to neglect their husbands and children.
