As a mother and past president for Mothers & More, Maschka has both experienced and heard the frustrations that women face today. She uses her own personal story and those of women across the country to illustrate in an accessible and humorous way the root causes of the frustrations and resentment mothers often feel. Maschka addresses the complex issues mothers and fathers face, and inspires readers with practical and specific actions - providing concrete tips and tools so they can be happier, and live the lives they always thought they would.

Kristin Maschka was born in St. Paul and grew up in Mankato where she is a member of the Mankato East Athletics Hall of Fame. Currently she is Director of Business to School Connections for the Pasadena Educational Foundation, and lives in Pasadena, CA with her husband and daughter.
