The Working Mother Experience

Episode #59: On Not Having to be Perfect with Kirsten Eeuwes, Engineer, Creative, Mother & Artist


Listen Later

Today on the podcast we meet Kirsten Eeuwes, Engineer, Creative, Mother & Artist. 

What struck me about Kirsten is her unrelenting, yet calm commitment to making intentional choices everyday related to her parenting and working to maximize her energy and wellbeing. Kirsten highlights the importance of her mindset which guides how and when she checks her phone, how she manages her calendar and all the structural shifts she has made to best support her work, family and herself.

Kirsten speaks to her use of water colours for her painting and "not being perfect", allowing the colours to blend and merge, a perfect parallel to working and parenting. She shares openly about leaving the dirty dishes if the tradeoff means more sleep and better energy and alignment the next day, something we could all benefit from once and a while!

There are so many nuggets of wisdom in this short conversation - I am so grateful to have learned from Kirsten; I walked away inspired and infused to better manage my mindset and the structure of my days to better optimize my energy levels. 

Thank you, Kirsten!
