Balancing remote work and parenting can feel like an impossible juggling act—Zoom calls colliding with snack time, deadlines clashing with bedtime, and constant guilt on both sides. But with the right structure, you can thrive at home as both a professional and a parent.
Work Without Chaos is the essential guide for parents in their 30s and 40s who are new to freelancing or remote jobs.
