We ask three Mamamia writers about "having it all". This is what they had to say.

Oh gosh, here we go. This is a real zinger. Can a woman really have it all? Well, it depends on what ‘it’ is and what ‘all’ is. The definitions differ. Many women say ‘it’ is family and career. Some say ‘it’ is family, career and a hot bod. Others say ‘it’ is family, career, a hot bod and a gigantic house. Others are happy with a beach side rental.

A better question is – do we ever get to a point where we have it all and then just go, “well, I’m done then.” Dreams achieved. Maybe instead of wondering if we have it all or if we will ever have it all we should just slow down and enjoy the journey a bit more.

In part six of our eight-part 5 to 9 diaries, we ask the question, “Can a woman really have it all?”

It seems to depend on what ‘it’ is.
