Key Takeaways:

🔄 Presence is a transition, not a switch — give yourself time and grace to shift from work mode to parenting with presence.

🧠 Your nervous system needs rituals — create daily transition rituals like silent pauses, brain dumps, or a short walk to reset your energy.

🧱 Build containers for your thoughts — use lists or voice memos to hold your to-dos so your mind can rest and reconnect.

🧩 Parenting with presence doesn’t mean perfection—just the gentle return to what matters.

🎨 Creative entrepreneurs thrive when their work life and home life are in rhythm, not competition.
