And then, because of the new crazy pace of life with a kid, the pattern persists beyond the first year and beyond any legitimate rationale for it.  Let's talk about this and how we can get intentional around it to a...2024-06-2427 minThe Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management and Productivity for Working Women & Working MomsThe Bright Method Podcast: Realistic Time Management and Productivity for Working Women & Working Moms58.
