And I'm like, that is so sad.
I met my husband at work, my best friends at work.
I've had some of the best nights of my life after great days at work.
And so I feel like we kind of made the office and work this enemy.
And to me, when you're living a
purposeful life and you're doing something great with your life, the two things intermingle.
I'm not so stupid to think that everybody has a job that they love, but I just don't think that we should think about work as some kind of enemy.
It just isn't.
So the answer is yes, I can.
But I also think that the question really ought to be,
How have we made it so that the two things are unfathomable?
That it's unfathomable to think about somebody that can kill it at work and kill it as a mom?
In my view, I think the idea of what it means to be a mother specifically, not a father, has gone nuts.
Like this idea of performative parenting, that I need to make a lunch and all the sandwiches need to be in stars and it needs to be on the Instagram.
A smiley face.
I don't do any of that.
So two ways I want to answer your question.
Yeah, and you have no guilt about that.
Zero.
Zero.
