I'm Tired… How to Find Balance Between Career and Family Based on My Own Experience

Rate this book
Written by a woman, for women — are you someone who’s tired — not just from the daily grind, but from the emotional weight of motherhood, the quiet pressure of perfectionism, and the impossible task of being everything to everyone?

I'm Tired… How to Find Balance Between Career and Family Based on My Own Experience is the warm, honest, and deeply compassionate book you didn’t know you needed — until now. Whether you're a mother juggling a business, a woman returning to herself after burnout, or someone simply asking, “When do I get to feel like me again?” — this book was written for you.

Part memoir, part manifesto, and full of real-world support, this book gently guides you through the messy, beautiful, complicated experience of modern womanhood. It’s especially crafted for women over 30 navigating career growth, burnout recovery, motherhood fatigue, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and the quiet ache of forgetting who they are in the chaos of doing so much for others.

You’ll

Candid stories of how the author left a dream behind — and built something better

Letters to herself — and to you — written in the middle of real-life exhaustion

Honest reflections on ambition, identity, relationships, self-care, and guilt

Insights from anonymous women navigating motherhood, anxiety, divorce, reinvention, and love

Gentle truths about how to finally make room for your own needs, dreams, and voice

The author — a mother of three, former university lecturer, academic writer, café founder, and entrepreneur behind three IT startups — has lived in three countries, moved through multiple seasons of life, and now shares what it truly takes to hold on to yourself through change.

This book is a safe place — not for fixing you, but for reminding you

Burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken

You don’t have to earn rest with exhaustion

Your story matters — and it’s not too late to rewrite it

Ideal for readers of emotional well-being, personal growth for women, gentle psychology, motherhood memoirs, self-help for sensitive women, and those who enjoy journaling, self-reflection, or personal essays alongside their morning coffee or recipe scroll.

If you’ve ever whispered, “Is it just me?” — it isn’t.
If you’ve ever needed someone to say, “You’re not alone, and you’re allowed to begin again,” — this is that voice.

Let this book meet you where you are.
Not with pressure. With permission.
Not with a plan. With presence.

Read it as a friend. Keep it as a mirror. Share it as a reminder that coming home to yourself is the bravest thing you’ll ever do.
