For so many women, "work-life balance" is a myth. And when you're already juggling a career, personal life, and family--plus your side projects, a smidgen of self-care, and the occasional need to sleep--"mindfulness" can sound like just another thing to do.

But if you take five minutes for mindfulness now and then, it may not only save your sanity--but also springboard your success. Let psychotherapist Shonda Moralis coach you through fifty "mindful breaks" ingeniously tied to your hectic schedule:
