Maria Alcoke, from the Engine Mom Podcast, knows a thing or two about juggling multiple things that she enjoys doing. Maria is sharing how she let some of the daily tasks go, figuring out how her multiple passions fit into her life and letting go of that picture perfect idea of balance. We talk about asking for help, how we need to reevaluate who we are and what we want occasionally as we continue to change and evolve and also how she was able to change her mindset from being the one who does it all to only doing what she really wants to do.

Karen Haberberg has spent twelve years as a professional photographer documenting stories of human resilience: the memories of a Holocaust survivor, the daily life of a developmentally disabled young adult working on a farm, and more recently, kids with rare genetic conditions. Karen’s parents lost their first child, Rafi, at age three; he died of Tay–Sachs disease before Karen was born. The memory of the child who died so young is never far from the family’s collective consciousness, and inspired the work on this project.
