Key Takeaways:

Compartmentalize EVERYTHING (I will share actionable tips on how to do this) - There is zero room for guilt and it serves no purpose - spending time feeling guilty is time wasted you could have spent with your kids/husband/business/your own self-care - Learn to say no, but when to say yes. It's important to say no to many opportunities if they feel like a chore or don't benefit you, but it's also important to support other small fish and other moms trying to do what you're doing, so treading the line between valuing your time and supporting other mothers and women is delicate but necessary to master.
