I've recently gotten a promotion at Google and I'm so grateful to be moving upward during this time, but it's made impossible for me to spend time with my family. Is there any way to speak to them about this and find some balance?

Congrats on promo!

100%. You need to bring this up to your manager ASAP. There shouldn’t be any pushback. I’ve found Google to be exceedingly willing to help me find better balance.
I don’t even have kids and I had this convo about burnout and long hours. My manager rejuggled my workload and we reset OKRs.

Btw there’s a Googlers bowl if you want internal advice.. just have to have Google listed as your company

Yeah, I would one hundred percent bring this up to your manager. Try and see what tasks you can get off your plate.
