And so I've gotta figure out where I'm gonna invest my time and where I'm gonna invest it when over the course of my life.

So there are going to be chapters in your life where you are caregiving for aging parents, for example, where

You've got to let go of what the garden looks like about taking care of your houseplants.

I literally say throw out your houseplants, okay?

You've got to let go of whether there's home-baked treats for the kids, you know, soccer games or school parties.

You might even have to let go of holiday decoration.

You might have to, for the first time, order takeout Thanksgiving dinner because you cannot do everything and

if what goes is your health and wellbeing, well, then that's all the sooner that your kids are gonna end up having to take care of you, right?

So when you invest in yourself, getting real rest, sleeping eight hours a night at minimum, right?

Those things are investments in your kids too.

Because if you think about the way that this is squeezing you right now,

You don't want your kids to be hitting that before they have to.

You want to be able to be there and be the helpful grandparent for your kids.

So I definitely, I don't, I am not advocating for people to leave their jobs, but I do advocate.

It was so funny.

I just did an interview with a male journalist because I talk about in the book how like I was juggling and I felt like I was dropping all these balls.

It was really hard.

And he goes, well, if you were struggling to balance home and work responsibilities, why didn't you just leave your job?

And I said, have you ever asked a man that?

You've got to be kidding me.
