better at being a good parent or a good sister or a good friend or a good, you know, wife.
These are the things that make us happier and more fulfilled.
And when we're happier and more fulfilled, we naturally do all of those other jobs better.
We become better friends, better sisters, better wives when we're feeling happy and more fulfilled.
And that makes us better parents to our children.
One hundred percent.
I mean, even going for a walk with a friend or, you know, going out and just having, you know, letting yourself go for a manicure or go for a run or whatever it is that makes you feel good, it's so important to have that time.
And we've gotten to a place with parenting where we equate good parenting with FaceTime.
And I I mean, we've all seen so many
people who spend every moment with their kids who aren't good parents.
I mean this is one of the most painful questions I get.
I and I've had this on my radio show also, because I wish I had a solution for it.
And our system is set up so poorly to handle
you know, differently wired kids and it breaks my heart.

You know, the the only thing I would say is I always say there are no bad industries, there are just bad bosses.
And for everyone, but especially for this community, it's so essential to be working for a boss that values their own personal life or else there's no chance they're ever going to value yours.
So that's one critical piece of it.
And also, you know, part of it is realizing it's like I have this thing called the maintenance years of, you know, when your child is under age six, those are the times to just stay in the game in some way and then leapfrog later.
And for this community, maybe those years are longer, but the most important thing is just staying in the game, keeping your foot in the door in some way so that you have options when you are not so time starved and in demand.
