I've been writing about this stuff for more than a decade.
And I've been working since I was 22.
I mean, I just went straight into the workforce and never stopped, which meant that I was really nervous to ask for it.
It's something that we write about at really forward-thinking companies, but it's not something that everyone is taking that's like this well-worn path that's still this
almost weird thing.
I mean, someone in the preschool parking lot, I told them I wasn't working right now, but I still had this job.
You know, I hadn't totally walked away.
And they were like, is it like a maternity leave?
Like, it's not a maternity leave.
It's this confusing thing.
So I was really nervous to ask.
Oh my God.
So the dream break list on my phone was like, you know, run a marathon.
It was like all these things I thought I would be capable of doing.
I was going to row crew again.
I had like rowed crew as a teenager and just all these things I would finally do.
I would take up tennis.

Of all the things I was going to do, errands that I had been putting off for what felt like years since I had children, I was finally going to rearrange and purge and deep clean my house.
And then all these bigger things that I was going to do too.
