Making it Work for Working Moms with Justine Carino
What exactly is a "working mom?" Whether you're in an office, at home, or somewhere in between... I think we can all agree we are working. Period.
And in this day and age, we as women - and as moms - get to have it all... I think. Justine Carino is here with me, to talk about this pressure to be "perfect" in every role we take on. She's also sharing 3 ways we can better manage our stress. Because, after all... aren't we better moms to our kids, when we take care of ourselves, too?
We'll discuss:
- How parenting today is different from other generations
- Finding a middle ground amidst pressure to be perfect
- Shoulds, oughts, and musts
- How to create boundaries that align with our values
- Why we should all be adding a mental health routine to our days
