How do you stay connected to your professional self when parenting takes every ounce of your energy? I used to be so ambitious and on top of things. Now? I feel like I'm operating in survival mode just trying to make it to bedtime. I miss feeling sharp. How do you get that spark back?

No ideas, but lots and lots and lots of solidarity ❤️

It was in a way calming to recognize that it never comes back. Life is very different with kids, both personally and professionally. With the cons, (not feeling sharp), come endless pros. The one tactical thing we do to try to manage operating in survival mode was getting more routine help to have time for ourselves to work out, knock out chores, etc.
