In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss: The best gift you can give yourself Celebrating progress Giving yourself space Finding the balance Key Takeaways: Accept that whatever you decide to do, you’re probably going to feel guilty about the way you raise your child. You’re always going to be worried. Grace is the best thing you can give yourself in this season. Celebrate any kind of forward traction. Think about how you can push the boulder one inch further today and celebrate that progress. Give yourself some space. You’re not gonna be able to either work effectively, nor take care of your children in the best possible way, if you don’t take time to take care of yourself. Learn to find the balance. Know when to go full throttle and when to pump the breaks. Choose how much you’re willing to sacrifice. Always communicate with your spouse. "You can’t spend all the time with your kid, and make all the money, and have an easy business. Check yourself and see what’s gonna be the right fit for you in this season. " — Jamie Wolfer
