Quote"I think a lot of times moms walk into my office thinking that balance is this kind of nirvana state that they're going be able to find if they can just get the right formula and there's often a lot of guilt and shame that they haven't figured it out and assumptions that everyone else has and so first we just start by breaking apart the idea that balance is even achievable or that balance is somehow a thing you find." - Dr. Anne Welsh Connect with Dr. Anne Welsh: Website: https://www.drannewelsh.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drannewelsh/ Instagram: @dr.welsh.coaching After leaving a career at Harvard, Dr. Anne Welsh launched her own practice to support women and mothers through therapy, executive coaching and consulting.
