Publisher's summary
Discover how to stop doing it all and start doing what matters with this step-by-step guide to beating burnout and thriving as a working mom.
In Doing It All, Dr. Whitney Casares, author, pediatrician, and mother of two, shares the step-by-step plan she developed as a modern working mom to help her stop over-functioning at work and home, stop blaming herself for everything that went wrong, and start living a balanced and intentional life. Today’s working moms are burned-out, overwhelmed, and just plain stuck. Caught amid the endless, conflicting demands of motherhood, work, household management, and a million-and-one everyday tasks, chores, and responsibilities, they truly are doing it all—but getting nowhere. They think they're out of options—but they're wrong.
Dr. Whitney tried to do it all for years, until one particularly bad week brought her to knees, and then, to a revelation: It wasn't her that was broken, it was her system. She needed a new system, a plan of action that would look squarely at all the common problems of working mom life—over-scheduling, inequitable partnerships, lack of boundaries, lack of support—, recognize the social and cultural causes behind them, and give her the tools and structure she needed to tackle the chaos, find her work-life balance, and start living a life that worked for her. In Doing It All, she shares that system with you, a system that will help you prioritize what really matters and where everything—even laundry—has its place. Work calls? Yep. Time with your kids? Absolutely. Time for yourself? A top priority.
Doing It All features Dr. Whitney's complete step-by-step plan to achieving your Centered Life—that is, a life centered on you—, as well as over forty targeted exercises, prompts, and activities to help you:
- Create a vision of your life that aligns with your values and goals and then break that vision into actionable priorities so you can start making it a reality.
- Implement systems to deal with the annoying-but-necessary “have-tos” in your life quickly and efficiently.
- Develop equity in your relationship with your parenting partner.
- Create and maintain boundaries around emotionally laden calls on your attention.
- Give your kids what they need to be healthy, happy, and successful—without giving away too much of yourself.
- Prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being with intentional scheduling and rest.
- And more!
Featuring powerful personal stories from real working moms, as well as quotes and interview excerpts from parenting experts, medical professionals, and mental health advocates, Doing It All meets working moms where they are, recognizes the personal and systemic challenges they face, and offers solutions that really work. It’s time to stop merely “surviving” motherhood. Join Dr. Whitney and thousands of other working moms across the country and discover the tools, systems, and support you need to parent, work, and thrive in your daily life.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A large and growing body of research highlights the value of getting ‘lost’ to improve our resilience and our mental health. That could mean literally wandering outdoors in nature or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions, rather than constantly trying to fight or push them away. Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim’s life, Lost & Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table: the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs.

A MUST read book for moms who do it all!
Doing it All is a MUST read for all moms who are working and momming and battling with the balance and heft of the mental load. Additionally, the author addresses things such as individual child needs surrounding disabilities and developmental challenges. This book was exactly what I needed.
The topics covered in this book are practical and the application of self-analysis is simplified with an easy to understand way of creating a plan for change.
This book, for me, was so timely and important, because I felt understood. That understanding went past “I can relate” and finally gave me the tools I’ve been searching for - the tools to create change and improve our family life.
The audiobook comes with a PDF that includes all the things you’d want on paper. The narrator did a fantastic job. I listened at 2x speed with 1.75x speed being my normal.

A MUST READ; This Book Changed My Life
If I could give this book ten stars, I would. I'm a business owner and a single mom, so I'm constantly feeling the push and pull of being a working mom. Dr. Whitney shares such great tips and incredible stories from women that make motherhood feel much less isolating, and I learned so much in a way that makes sense - it feels like you're talking to a friend who gives really fantastic advice.
I've already started implementing components of the book while building out my centered life blueprint, and the first things I wanted to address were boundaries, my schedule, and finding time for self-care. This book has changed my life, and I can't wait to keep doing the activities.
