As working parents with kids, work, and a life to take care of, there's "always something". What is a "normal" week anyway? It's probably one where everything went according to plan. But is that really realistic to expect? I would argue that "abnormal" weeks are the norm and the sooner we come to expect that, the easier it is to be flexible when plans change. In this episode, I'm sharing personal anecdotes and client stories to highlight the importance of flexibility, lowering expectations, and celebrating small wins to manage the unpredictable weeks, plus the phrase that I use instead of "it is what it is."
