In the very beginning stages of hanging my own shingle (family law attorney) and just found out I am also pregnant with my first child. I am anxious about both. Any advice from other Mommy Entrepreneurs successfully doing both, esp if a newborn and a brand new business ???

Am I crazy for doing both? Firm was in the plans, baby was not but Id like to not have to put the firm on hold if its doable!! Baby is #1 priority of course, now.

Nope! Go for it. Being a mom and family law attorney is a great combination. Won't be easy, but nothing worth having is. Congratulations and best of luck to you!

Oh, and cut yourself some slack. Neither parenting nor owning your own business is about perfection. Try to find joy in the journey.

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

My gf and me call each other everytime we have free time. However lately she seems disinterested in phone time.

And I told her this is like living together from a distance, because I put her on the house speakers. What can I do to keep her engaged?

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out.

I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
