Synopsis: Today, social media has led to a
magnification of social comparison and the unrealistic goal of being polished
and perfect, despite all people experiencing stress at one time or another. Through brief anecdotes filled with mistakes,
laughter, tears, joy, love, and ongoing learning, Dr. Stephanie J. Wong,
Ph.D. gives readers an unfiltered look into being a working mother,
providing “real talk” about the messy and difficult parts of managing diaper
duty and employees. Dr. Wong
is an Asian American, licensed clinical psychologist, entrepreneur, mother,
BTS ARMY (global K-pop group fandom) keynote speaker, and founder and host of
the award-winning, Color of Success Podcast. Due to her perceived accomplishments,
people often ask her, “How do you do it all?” They comment, “You are
Superwoman!” to which she “jokingly” replies, “I’m 20 seconds from losing my
shit all the time.”
Many of Dr. Wong’s clients,
friends, and family members feel they are the only ones who “can’t handle
parenthood,” and ask themselves, “Why do others seem to have it together, but I
don’t?” Dr. Wong normalizes the working parent’s experience, creating a feeling
that readers are not alone or going “crazy.” From studying for a
national licensure test while her water was leaking to promoting mental health
through media content, she reveals her imperfections and struggles. She demonstrates ways to embrace a life beyond the
filtered version, or the snapshots presented to the world, and integrates her
clinical expertise to assist readers in setting and maintaining boundaries, exercising
self-compassion, and attending to their mental health.
