Welcome to Episode 3 of the Own Your Work Podcast. In this episode I open up about some of the struggles I’ve had as a working mom. One of the questions I get a lot is “How do you do it all?” and the answer to that is that I don’t. It was at  a  time that I started to check in  with myself that I realized I could not do it all and I would continue to burn-out if I tried. Instead, I started with one question that helped me find clarity for what I needed. That question that started  out of survival mode evolved to a question that helps me to now thrive.

Topics we discuss in this episode:

• What I felt and experienced that drove me to this daily check-in
• How I started doing my check-in
• What is important in order to get the most out of this check-in
• How the check-in has evolved to help me thrive

If you are tired of being overwhelmed, unsure of what you need then this is the episode for you.
