Balancing Work and Family

Biggest daily challenge: "Making my family let go. I don’t allow them to call during the day when I’m on the road. I refuse to carry a cell phone because I don’t want to be that

Best source of advice and support: "My husband. He makes it very easy for me to do this. It has to be a partnership. I went on the road when my older son was five months old. We have a great day-care Mom next door, and I figured if my husband could get the kids up, get them dressed, and take them next door and then pick them up at the end of the day, then we would be OK. My older son, now 13, has to take responsibility for his homework. All three of my guys are perfectly capable of doing things themselves.

"My mother is my best groupie. She calls me every night that I’m on the road. I’m 47, but my mother still checks in on me and I love it. Every once in a while she even joins me on the road."
