You’ll learn: How to use visual cues and rituals to transition between rolesHow to prep your people so your day doesn’t fall apart by 10 a.m.Why giving yourself breaks (yes, even 10 minutes) actually makes you more productiveWhat to do when your job is taking a toll on the version of you you want your kids to remember 👀 Need more support?
