Even Jennifer Garner Needs to Find Balance February 2, 2010

Catching up on reading from a couple of Sunday papers ago (ahh… how I wish I could read the entire paper on Sunday morning, somehow little hands always pull me away!)… anyway, I came across this article in the Parade insert – an interview with Jennifer Garner.
It starts off like this:
Jennifer Garner is as committed to raising her daughters Violet, 4, and Seraphina, 1, as she is to her career. But she admits that it’s an emotional struggle. “I adore going to movie sets and being part of a team trying to create something,” she says. “And yet, I hate to miss even one bedtime with my girls.”
Garner, 37, knows that the push-pull she faces is hardly unique. “My sisters both are working mothers,” she says. “I understand that my being an actress as well as being at home isn’t some heroic thing. That doesn’t mean it isn’t confusing or difficult—especially that question of how you find a balance.” …more…
Ladies, isn’t it nice to know that even multi-millionaire superstars are seeking balance just like us?

I met Denuelle Meyer through a class I was teaching at Niagara University. When I realized she was a life coach focused on women, I guess something just clicked. One thing led to another and before we knew it, we were planning an event we both felt passionate about – to provide women with time to focus on themselves and come away with tools that can help them on the path to balance. This event is something I would love to attend if I saw it advertised – and I hope that it resonates with all the other working moms out there. Since I DIDN’T see anything like this here in Western New York, we decided to make it ourselves!
I know no single event will have ALL the answers, but there is so much to be gained with taking some time for ourselves, when we rarely do in our busy lives. And also the opportunity to connect with other like-minded women. We may never achieve balance, but I believe we CAN feel more balanced.
I admit I am no poster child for work/life balance. I am a mom entrepreneur. (more…)
