About The Book
At a time when so many are looking to reset their lives, Rebalance explores what it takes to truly thrive full-circle: as purpose-driven leaders, parents, partners, and citizens. With insight and humor, Rebalance tackles the perennial question of working women (and men) everywhere: Is it possible to do it all well or does something have to give? The authors draw on a decade of no-holds-barred conversations with an ambitious group of women striving to lead in social impact jobs, raise good kids, and build strong relationships and communities. Rebalance distills their hard-earned lessons on balancing - and rebalancing - amid an onslaught of ever-changing demands and priorities. Rebalance takes an unflinching look at the trade-offs, conflicts, and juggling acts inherent in our busy lives, and ultimately illuminates how time-tested principles and practices can free us not just to survive but also to thrive.

Raves and Reviews
'When women are supported to bring their whole selves to work, family, friendship and community, they create magic and a better world. Rebalance covers the joys and challenges of living a full life of purpose with authenticity and vulnerability. This powerful book offers lessons on living a full life of purpose through personal stories and reflections from three women leaders to their sisters, their communities, and all those who will cherish this gem.'
– Maya Chorengel, Co-Managing Partner, The Rise Funds, TPG
'The phrase “work-life balance” is one of my biggest pet peeves: It suggests a 50/50 equilibrium that leads you inevitably to do each side poorly. In Rebalance, you'll instead learn about “the edge of the wheel” – an incredibly useful tool to gauge and manage your ever-shifting priorities among work, community, family, and self. This inspiring, accessible, and informative book written by three pioneering women will give you the permission to pursue a life of meaning, the courage to take risks, and, yes, the license to THRIVE!'
– Linda Rottenberg, Author of Crazy Is a Compliment: The Power of Zigging When Everyone Else Zags. CEO and Co-Founder, Endeavor
'Every executive with young children strives for balance and to make it all work. Rebalance is a recipe for getting it done – excelling at work, being present for family, and carving out time for oneself.'
– Ellen Weinreb, Managing Director, Weinreb Group Sustainability Recruiting
'This book is coming at an important time as we emerge from cocoons after a pandemic, lifting the veil behind how working mothers combine it all and thrive. It is not easy to attain excellence in work, family and children let alone thrive during the process. Thank you to Wendy, Lisa and Monica for their authentic honest reflections so we can learn from the very relevant experiences of three working women road warriors.'
– Momina Aijazuddin, Global Head Microfinance, IFC
'The great thinker Khalil Gibran said "Work is love made visible." The stories and lessons of Rebalance are an inspirational guide for how to achieve a complete overlap of the personal and the professional, and for how to be reflective on the paths we pursue and those we intentionally leave behind.'
– Mona Mourshed, Founding Global CEO, Generation
