Ep 51 | Navigating Work-Life Balance in Parenthood

In this lively discussion about the challenges of balancing work and parenthood, we discuss the importance of recovery, self-care, and maintaining connections through traditions like Christmas cards. We explore the concept of severance in the workplace, share personal anecdotes about parenting, and reflect on the importance of living in the present. The conversation is filled with insights and practical advice for high achievers navigating the complexities of parental life.

  • Switching off work as parents requires intentional effort and time. It allows time for self-care, even in a busy schedule.

  • It's okay to seek help and advice from others when feeling overwhelmed.
