Today’s episode is all about money, budgeting and Rachel’s approach to work-life flow is a strict separation of the two, so she can be fully present wherever she is. She shares that, since starting her own business, these limits were a bit more challenging to set. When she discovered the power of time blocking, she started using it not only for work time, but also for easing the mental load when it comes to household chores, and school work.

Rachel is a fierce proponent of taking care of your finances, by creating a budget around your family values, so you can live stress-free and be really present with your family. She also shares how creating a “motivational budget” makes it feel less constrictive.
