The Rebalancing Act shines light on something so many women fall prey to…. Holding ourselves to a higher standard, seeking approval, and expecting more from ourselves than we would ever expect from anyone else. As a wife, mother, and working professional, I felt the need to handle absolutely everything, trying to be present at work to climb the corporate ladder, being present for my children and at the end of the day, being present and spending quality time with my husband. Not only is this pace unrealistic, but it’s also completely exhausting. I truly thought if I did it all, I could have it all! This book helped me realize that the one person I wasn’t present for was me! It showed me by being present for me, the only approval I need is my own, and with boundaries I can still have it all without trying to do it all.

Too many books about juggling the multiplicity of demands we face in life offer too many theories and not enough creative and practical “how-to” skills. Not this book! You’ll discover great case studies of how you can, every day, be more effective in handling the challenges you face in life.

Janine Ranski

EVP Sales Head, United States, Intellect Design Arena Ltd

Reading The Rebalancing Act brought me face-to-face with the pervasive and conflicting expectations women face in their quest to “have it all” and reminded me of my grandmother’s remarkable journey. Much like the women Enneking describes, my grandmother balanced a demanding career with her family responsibilities. Throughout several career changes, she remained steadfast in her commitment to her professional aspirations while also striving to be a wonderful wife and raise her grandson—me. Enneking’s archetypes resonate deeply with my grandmother’s experiences. She was our family’s Overloaded Olivia, constantly juggling the demands of work and home.

Enneking’s insights emphasize the importance of making mindful choices and setting realistic expectations. True fulfillment, as I’ve seen through my grandmother’s experiences, comes from understanding our limits and making conscious decisions about what truly matters.
