Who's on my starting lineup and where are we trying to go?

And then you start to filter through.

what decisions are actually worth the investment and aren't.

And even if that's just going for a walk every day.

Think about how you'd feel if every day you went for a walk or spent 10 minutes out in the sunshine.

That's your goal.

small steps, right?

Can have big outcomes on that.

I think we have for a long time asked women to sacrifice for everyone.

And what they've done is sacrifice themselves.

And so what I'm asking you to do is little by little, just put yourself more center, put your dreams more center and think about how you can give back to you because we need you in this world right now.

We need women with mental load surplus now.

I think that...

We've put so much pressure on mothers to get motherhood right that it feels like any time away is a violation of the family.

Why do mothers' dreams get starved?

Well, it's because there's so much competing attention.

There's so many other ways where you have to put your energy and your talents to make sure everyone else is okay.

And part of that is because you're living in these really broken systems.

This is why I'm saying like, what is the world we want to live in?

Could you take one step in whatever direction you think you're most passionate about?
