90. Working Parent Life Enrichment w/ Assistant Professor Yael Schonbrun, Psychologist, author, faculty at Brown University, and podcaster

When Yael Schonbrun headed back to work after having her first child she thought to herself ‘I’ve got this in the bag’. The reality couldn’t have been any more different from the expectation, perhaps you can relate! Yael leveraged her experience as a parent, and an academic to firstly dive into the research, then begin to call out the myth of the work-life balance that was at the heart of so many available resources. She wrote ‘Work, Parent, Thrive’ filled with insights and practical strategies to help us all reframe our approach to working and parenting with more optimism, less guilt, strategies to manage what’s hard and a new lens to consider how what we’ve often considered as ‘competing roles’ actually compliment and enrich each other.

Yael Schonbrun is a clinical psychologist, assistant professor at Brown University, co-host of the Psychologists Off the Clock podcast, author of Work, Parent, Thrive: 12 Science-Backed Strategies to Ditch Guilt, Manage Overwhelm, and Grow Connection (When Everything Feels Like too Much), and parent of three.
