Are you coping with working at home and taking care of your kids? And are you finding the time to practice some self-care as well? We all find ourselves in different situations right now. Although there are a lot of similarities with what we're experiencing, there are a lot of differences too. Some of us have four kids at home, while others don't have any children. And many of us are working from home now, while others might not be working at all. Today's episode is both personal and practical. Robin shares the shifts that she and her family have made to thrive in this unique and unprecedented season.

Robin gives us a peek behind the scenes and talks about what her day-to-day life is looking like right now. She shares some practical tips for managing your kids while working at home, and she also discusses self-care and friendships. Be sure to listen in today, to find out how Robin is managing to juggle her work, her kids, her marriage, her friends, and also finding the time for some self-care while being at home twenty-four hours a day.
