The elusive work/life balance is utopia for every working mum, and for single mums is can be even more challenging. But there is a way, and it doesn’t involve retraining or looking for a new job. Instead you can negotiate flexible work arrangements with your employer.

Lucy Dickens and Jo Alilovic are co-hosts of The Juggle podcast, sharing strategies and advice to help women manage the juggle of career and family life.
