I had a great delight this week to interview two guests on the show - Shari Medini and Karissa Tunis. Parenting experts and founders of the popular website, Adore Them Parenting, Shari and Karissa used their time over Covid to write a book - called Parenting whilst working from home.
Shari and Karissa had both been working from home for about a decade whilst raising their families and creating their businesses - so they knew through their own experiences how to effectively combine the needs of both.
As more parents work from home than ever before, there are unique challenges when it comes to meeting the demands of their job, helping their kids thrive, and finding even five minutes to take care of themselves. Parenting While Working from Home offers tips, strategies, and reflections to help parents balance their careers, connect with their kids, and establish their inner strength over the course of a year.
We discussed that it is ok to be a working parent and we discussed some practical strategies to help combine the two. Plus we discussed how to figure this out for you and your schedule and your family. We also talked about what do you really need and also hobbies.
You are going to absolutely love this chat! Thanks, Shari and Karissa for being on the show!
