TRFE 193: From Panic Attacks + Overwhelm to Her Ideal Work Week with Kyrsten Sherwood

Working from home, alone, with two young kiddos didn’t look or feel ideal and easy for Kyrsten Sherwood. It looked more like living with postpartum depression and anxiety, morning panic attacks, and trying to find an escape by working nonstop. Now, several years later, Kyrsten and her husband, Kelly, have three kids under the age of five and work together full-time on their business. Today, though, Kyrsten has created an ideal work week for herself where she she spends as much time not working as she does working. There’s more balance, ease, and time for herself, even with a growing business and three young kiddos. We talk about… The pressure to support a five-person family on one income Dealing with postpartum depression and anxiety When chronic overwhelm and morning panic attacks becomes the norm How minimalism was the catalyst for changing her life Taking time off + scheduling in downtime How to live as much (if not more) than you work   WHO IS KYRSTEN SHERWOOD?
