Working parenthood is not for the faint of heart. Sometimes the stress of toggling between family and professional roles can feel like too much! And... it can also be a meaningful source of joy, inspiration, and creativity.\xa0\nIn this extra special episode, we talk to our very own co-host, Dr. Yael Schonbrun about her new book,\xa0Work, Parent Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like Too Much). Yael draws on psychology research as well as her own experience as a working mom of three, to offer ideas that will help even the most stressed of working parents!\xa0This book banishes the idea that the key to ultimate working parenthood is the ability to do it all. Instead, the key is to learn how these roles,\xa0together, help you thrive.\nListen and Learn:\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0How Yael\u2019s own experience as a hard-working mother of three informed her ideas for her book.\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0How to shift from a \u201cwork family conflict mindset\u201d to a \u201cwork family enrichment mindset\u201d\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Why interruptions that feel really annoying might actually be good for you.\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Whether or not finding perfect work-life balance is a realistic goal (spoiler alert: it\u2019s not)\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0The role of values in making choices about work and family\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0How to deal with parental guilt effectively\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0How working parenthood offers opportunities for growth\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0About how cooking has offered Jill a lesson in when to grit and when to quit\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0The power of rest, and what Yael is up to on her tech-free Saturday sabbath days\n\n\xa0Resources:\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Get your copy of\xa0Work, Parent, Thrive!\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Check out\xa0Yael\u2019s webpage\xa0and her\xa0POTC episodes!\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Read Yael\u2019s\xa0New York Times article\xa0on working parenthood, and other media appearances in the\xa0Wall Street Journal,\xa0Greater Good Science Center,\xa0Behavioral Scientist,\xa0Kveller,\xa0Lilith Magazine,\xa0The Wise Brain Bulletin,\xa0Psychology Today, and\xa0Motherly.\xa0\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Grab your copy of all our favorite books at\xa0bookshop.org/shop/offtheclockpsych.\n\u25cf\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Check out\xa0Debbie,\xa0Yael,\xa0and\xa0Jill\u2019s\xa0websites to access their offerings, sign up for their newsletters, buy their books, and more!\n\n\xa0About Yael:\xa0Dr. Yael Schonbrun is a co-host of the greatest podcast of all times, Psychologists Off the Clock, and that\u2019s all you need to know about her.\xa0\nJust kidding!\xa0Yael Schonbrun, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Brown University, co-host of\xa0Psychologists Off the Clock, and mother of three.\xa0She has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and completed her postgraduate training at Brown University.\xa0Yael\u2019s academic research explores the interaction between relationship problems and mental health conditions.
