Kids Changing Schedules, Working 12 Hours a Week, Growth, and Planning for my Third Maternity Leave
About the episode:
This is a more girlfriend-chat style of episode where I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at my life as a mompreneur in this current season. I discuss my work schedule, which fluctuates based on my husband's rotating schedule and my kids nap times. I also give an update for how my time-blocking experiment is going 3+ months in. I share strategies for navigating my kid’s schedules and dealing with sickness, as well as her plans for my third maternity leave. In the end, the most important thing for me is having a life-first approach and having open hands as I make my plans knowing that the right things will come and go as needed. I hope you are encouraged by this episode!
