“Finally, a roadmap for working mothers and fathers seeking  to balance meaningful careers, raise good children, give back  to society and practice self-care in an ever-changing world.  In Rebalance, Lisa, Monica, and Wendy beautifully articulate a  paradigm for understanding what each of us want out of life  when it comes to family, work, friendships and more – and how  to adjust when those desires evolve over time.”

Nancy Cordes, Chief White House Correspondent, CBS News

“The phrase ‘work-life balance’ is one of my biggest pet peeves:  It suggests a 50/50 equilibrium that leads you inevitably to do  each side poorly. In Rebalance, you’ll instead learn about ‘the  edge of the wheel’ – an incredibly useful tool to gauge and  manage your ever-shifting priorities among work, community,  family, and self. This inspiring, accessible, and informative book  written by three pioneering women will give you the permission  to pursue a life of meaning, the courage to take risks, and, yes,  the license to THRIVE!” 

Linda Rottenberg, Author, Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of  Zigging When Everyone Else Zags, CEO, Co-Founder, Endeavor  

“For those striving to live more fully as parents, professionals  and partners, Rebalance provides thoughtful tips, real-world  examples, inspiring stories and wisdom to help gain perspective,  change routines, and re-calibrate towards a more fulfilled (and  less guilt-ridden) future. Thank you Lisa, Monica, and Wendy  for this book!” 

Elizabeth Maw, President, Presidio Graduate School

“When women are supported to bring their whole selves to  work, family, friendship and community, they create magic  and a better world. Rebalance covers the joys and challenges of  living a full life of purpose with authenticity and vulnerability.  This powerful book offers lessons on living a full life of purpose  through personal stories and reflections from three women  leaders to their sisters, their communities, and all those who  will cherish this gem.” 

Maya Chorengel, Co-Managing Partner, The Rise Funds, TPG

“For leaders looking to amplify their impact, this is a ‘must  read’ book. It offers authentic accounts alongside strategies and  tactics for how to grow professionally and personally as you  make your mark in the world.” 

Fiona M. Macaulay, Founder-CEO, WILD Network, Adjunct  Professor, McDonough School of Business, Georgetown  University

“Every executive with children strives for balance and to make  it all work. Rebalance is a recipe for getting it done – excelling  at work, being present for family, and carving out time for  oneself.” 

Ellen Weinreb, Managing Director, Weinreb Group  Sustainability Recruiting

“This book is coming at an important time as we emerge from  cocoons after a pandemic, lifting the veil behind how working  mothers combine it all and thrive. It is not easy to attain  excellence in work, family and children let alone thrive during  the process. Thank you to Wendy, Lisa and Monica for their  authentic honest reflections so we can learn from the very  relevant experiences of three working women road warriors.” 

Momina Aijazuddin, Global Head Microfinance, IFC  

“In 2010, a group of ambitious, socially conscious women came  together in DC. Their goal was to help each other balance a  family-focused life with meaningful careers. Drawing on their  stories of success and setbacks over a decade, the three authors  share their ‘aha’ moments, their lessons learned and help us feel  that anything is possible as long as we follow our ‘true north.’  I recommend it to any woman (or man) seeking to live life with  purpose.” 

Stephanie J. Miller, Author, Zero Waste Living: the 80/20 Way,  Former Director, IFC 

“The great thinker Khalil Gibran said, ‘Work is love made  visible.’ The stories and lessons of Rebalance are an inspirational  guide for how to achieve a complete overlap of the personal and  the professional, and for how to be reflective on the paths we  pursue and those we intentionally leave behind.” 

Mona Mourshed, Founding Global CEO, Generation

“Rebalance holds true for our individual lives and serves as a  mantra for how to change our economy as a whole — towards  one where business serves society and not the reverse.”  Saskia Thais Bruysten, Co-Founder & CEO, Yunus Social  Business
