The Art of the Juggling Act With Sarah Armstrong
Thu Feb 05 2026
It’s easy to think your ambitions are gone forever once you’re a parent, or worse, after a divorce. Suddenly, “having it all” feels unrealistic, if not impossible.
But Sarah Armstrong is proof that ambition doesn’t just disappear. It evolves.
This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Sarah, VP of Global Marketing Operations at Google, and author of The Art of the Juggling Act and The Mom’s Guide to a Good Divorce. She shares what it looked like to keep her career moving through motherhood, divorce, and single parenting, without losing herself in the process.
We talk about choosing what matters, setting boundaries that actually hold up, and letting go of pressure that does more harm than good. If you’ve ever wondered whether your goals still fit the life you’re living now, this one’s for you.
