Today Kim and I talk about being married with a young child. We have an angel of a child who seems to take more of our time as she grows. The things we talk about in this episode can be applied to anyone who has kids, or are planning having children or, as Kim says, even those without children can learn from our experiences.

My challenge is as follows, every morning I am woken by my daughter and we create a story on what we dreamed about and we need to follow this morning routine. Every evening she demands more of my time. As Kim points out, she and I are peas in a pod. I pass on my love of a routine to her. Listen up and you’ll hear the psychological to and fros that occur in our household and learn as Kim points to it being a time management problem.

In today’s episode you will learn…

• How my daughter and I both survive on routines.
• Learn how I play “double dutch” with my daughter for Kim’s attention.
• I have to have a flow when I talk. Interrupted, I’m in trouble!
• How this podcast is therapy for me!
• How Kim settles everything with her sage views on it being a time quality problem.
• Sophia now wants to spend as much time with her Dad as her Mom, which wasn’t always the case. Sophia loves games, loves people.
• How I deal with the fact that my mornings and evenings aren’t my time/our time any longer. It’s family time.
• How the difficulty as an entrepreneur to not be able to use this time to flesh out ideas. This is difficult when there’s a child who demands attention.
• Switching from entrepreneur mode to Dad mode is, for me, difficult.
• Being female means doing this all day, says Kim. Making time for everything is the priority.
• Kim says it’s important to be intentional about making time together.

Today’s Topic: Today Kim and I talk about the break of ritual that occurs when traveling and how that can sometimes be a problem for a family. We’re planning a four-month holiday in Europe and you’ll hear in this episode that I fully admit to being a ritual-based guy. As Kim says though, when that outside pressure of the holiday pushes us into new, untested routines, we need to be prepared for change, particularly when as we juggle the needs of a growing child.

In this episode you’ll learn …

• How stepping outside of your comfort zone is an opportunity for growth.
• How Kim and I will be leveraging our “holiday” to grow our respective businesses — and ourselves.
• That circumstances — such as a holiday — will often determine a change in ritual.
• How the change that surrounds the growing up of a child will change our routine and how we cope with this.
• How to negotiate the time needs for all the family.
• That the needs of every family member are equal.
• That changes such as Kim and I are doing — selling everything and moving for four months — isn’t easy and requires a growth mindset.
