Publisher Description
Combine the best parts of your personal and professional life to live the life you really want
Balance is B.S. is an unflinching and honest look at the challenges today’s working woman faces in balancing her professional and personal lives. In the United States, women comprise over 40% of household income. Increased gender diversity in the modern business landscape continues to have a positive impact on bottom lines and revenue reports across the economy, and offers significant benefits for ambitious women in the workplace. This increase of women in the workforce does present a serious problem—women are working longer and harder outside of the home, but their workload has not lessened inside of the home. While their career prospects rise, expectations of their family and personal lives remain flat. Women pursue the mythical “work-life” balance, and feel guilty for not reaching it. There is a better way.
This insightful book provides working women with real-world advice, enabling them to blend their personal and professional lives, avoid burning out, and raise expectations of themselves and those around them. Every chapter presents practical exercises to identify values, and focus on what matters most. Following the path laid out by this essential guide, you will learn how to:
Blend business and personal lives together without compromising your values Adjust expectations of yourself and others around you Use practical exercises and effective techniques to combine work, social, family, and parenting lives Stop feeling guilty about your work-life balance, and embrace the best parts of both

A must read for the female entrepreneur
This book is an absolute must-read for anyone struggling with juggling a career, family and wanting more, or in fact everything. Look no further, here are the answers you've been looking for. It is possible. And no it's not wrong to want or aspire to fulfilling your dreams.
For those of your not familiar with Tamara, she is a down to earth country girl, who has risen to become a powerhouse global entrepreneur, and really a true leader in the design and development of conscious companies. She has challenged herself and the modern industry with an incredible vision for companies. Tamara prides herself on not only providing amazing products and services but also to set the benchmark for flexible "blended " work/life and giving back with her buy one give one efforts.
Not only does Tamara give first-hand insight into how she manages this life, but she's also provided many invaluable exercises to give the reader the tools to implement and make real changes in their own lives.
I say "Their" because although this book at first glance is tailored to women, there is as much to be gained from reading for men. This book gives men an opportunity to see how a solid loving couple are navigating the entrepreneurial journey together. It's also a great example of how men are assuming different roles in the household and not only loving doing so but also thriving and "kicking it out of the park."
Guys, if you have an ambitious woman in your life, then here is some excellent advice for how to support and thrive with her.
I have thoroughly loved every page of this book and I couldn't recommend it highly enough for today's driven, women, men, and couples.
Here is a woman that lives by what she preaches and "drinks her own champagne." Cheers to you Tamara!
Great job on your debut book. I look forward to reading many more in the future.
