Leah Busque Quotes

The only thing that I stress out about is, how am I going to make sure that I balance out my time for motherhood?

I feel such a sense of empowerment being a mom. But I do wonder: How do they/we do it all?

Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way.

Working mothers' laughter comes hardest when our double life is revealed for what it is: a juggling act in which the balls can drop at any time, invariably on our own head.

I'm a big believer of work/life balance. You need a little down time to recharge to make sure that when you're here, you're really all here. I still have a child in high school, so I go to her sporting events, even if it means leaving work and working again when I get home. I probably should work out a little more than I do.

I'm like any working mom.

I had three children while doing a show, as demanding as 'Good Morning America,' so this is - you know, it's almost like I'm less daunted about motherhood, and parenting at this point in time. And I think I'm just much more fit and healthy than I was 20-years-ago.

Being a working mom is not easy. You have to be willing to screw up at every level.

When I was a new mom, I used to think that life was going to be balanced, and I strived for that. But life is crazy!

I burnt myself out of skating. I was ready to focus on being a mom.

The hardest thing about having three kids is trying to find a balance, because there's always the odd man out, and you also need to make sure each child gets the attention he or she needs.

I totally support women working on their relationships, their careers, or whatever they need to do to be healthy moms, but it's also important to realize you may not have as much time as you think.

When I first had a child, I really had a hard time trying to figure out how it was all going to fit together. Because I felt like, when I was with him, I wanted to be writing and I should be writing. And when I was writing, I felt like I should be with him, and wanted to be with him. So I was unhappy a lot.

My heart and prayers go out to all single moms because it's tough, and I can't imagine any teenager dealing with a baby and all those hormones raging.

As a working mum, it's really hard to find time in the day to just relax and take a break. I am constantly on the go.

It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.

Of course having a baby derails the writing process for some time. And I will be the first to say that I have essentially no social life, because there's just nothing left after being a mom, professor, and writer. I used to be big into rock climbing. No more. A lot falls by the wayside.

I feel like I'm one of the many working mothers. And I only have one child. I know working mums who have three or four. It's definitely a challenge but it's a wonderful challenge to be able to do both.

I'm losing friendships over forgetting to get back to people. But you can't keep up with everything. I've got a 13-year-old, a nine-year-old and a baby.

As any female executive with a family knows, you're making mental lists all through the night. You're often not sure you've managed to sleep at all.

I have to feel OK with taking some time for myself, not feeling guilty that I don't spend my every free second with my son, which is sometimes tough.

In the mornings, I try to spend anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes with my son. Failing that, I try for 30 to 60 minutes together at the end of the day. I try to make that work, but if I can't, I just move on. You can't beat yourself up about it.

I never feel like I should have any time free.

As women, we're trying to be the best mothers and partners and have careers. We're trying to do so much. It's okay to say to other women, 'How do you do this?' Because I honestly don't know. The more we are honest, the more you realize we're all just trying to figure this out.

I try to balance work and family. As long as I'm able physically and mentally to do it, I will.
