"This notion of work-life balance, I think, sets us up for disappointment," she said at Fortune's Most Powerful Women summit in Laguna Niguel, Calif. on Tuesday.
Jarrett reflects on her past, stating, 'I didn't tell anybody I was pregnant until I was six months pregnant... I was afraid if I talked about it nobody would take me seriously.'
Her advice for all the powerful women in the room? 'Make informed decisions, don't feel as though you're compromising, be realistic about what you can and can't do, and own those decisions.'
"This notion of balance sets you up to think that you can have it all at the same time," she said moments later, highlighting the impossibility of such expectations.
