How do you build a successful career, raise a family, protect your health, and still have a life?
Sarah Armstrong, Vice President of Global Marketing Operations at Google and author of The Art of the Juggling Act: A Bite-Sized Guide for Working Parents, joins Women Road Warriors to share practical strategies for balancing work, family, friendships, health, and personal fulfillment.
Drawing from leadership roles at Google, McKinsey & Company, Coca-Cola, and Leo Burnett, Sarah discusses why the traditional idea of "having it all" may be setting people up for frustration and guilt. Instead, she encourages listeners to define success on their own terms, establish healthy boundaries, and focus on what matters most.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why work is the "rubber ball" and the rest of life is made of glass
• The biggest misconception about work-life balance
• How to stop feeling guilty about career and parenting choices
• Why perfection is impossible—and unnecessary
• The power of saying "no" without apology
• How Sarah protected family time while leading global teams
• Why building a support network is critical to success
• Practical ways to create a life aligned with your values
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, entrepreneur, executive, or simply trying to manage competing priorities, Sarah's insights offer a practical roadmap for thriving in both your personal and professional life.
