Does being a female boss at work sort of trickle down into your behavior at home? On one hand, I want to just chill and not be the decision-maker/planner at home, but on the other hand, it's quite literally the nature of my being now that I don't know any other way. I want to calm down and just let go of some things before I turn out to be the obsessive kind of person my mom was. How do you find your balance?

Keep reminding yourself that it’s perfectly fine to let go of some control and that it might even lead to some wonderful surprises. It's so easy to get caught up in the lifestyle of caring too much, all the time and everywhere. Be kind to yourself, you’re doing an amazing job juggling both worlds!

That's such a great question! It's completely natural to feel this way. It's like you’ve got this superhero cape on during the day, and then when you get home, it can be tough to just hang it up and relax. Finding that balance is key. I’ve learned that it’s okay to delegate, whether it’s at work or at home. Teach yourself how to be more and more okay with it.

Great question! I'm a single mom, so I'm in this role 24/7. It can be exhausting. It would be great to have another adult take the lead, but I guess that also means there's no mental switch required. I do notice it when I'm amongst friends.
