Introduction

Women are more overwhelmed than ever. With expectations at home and at work mounting, with their own goals and desires in life, and demands coming at them from every corner of the world, women are feeling the pressure to be more and do more than ever before.

It contains a great wealth of knowledge, practical tips, and self-care ideas for women who want to be more productive, get more done, and have everything they want.

Having it all really means focusing on the things you want the most, those things that will make you happy. Having it all means you
