Are comparisons always bad for us?

Reading Laura Vanderkam’s books on time management helped me achieve personal and professional goals in ways I didn’t think were possible. By using her logical, simple system, I was able to quit my day job, 5x my income, while working part-time. This gave me more freedom and time for family, my business, writing, and travel. Hear more about in this video... 😁

This was done as an Instagram live back in September, for families interested in homeschooling by choice. I hope you create another one soon for quarantine induced homeschooling but this one should help in the meantime..

Elisheva Liss, LMFT and I had a GREAT discussion on this Instagram LIVE. Coronavirus has turned our world upside down, collectively and individually. There are MANY challenges that we are facing. One challenge that seems to be pretty universal to families is the challenges of parenting while practicing social distancing or being in quarantine. Home school worries, to schedule or not to schedule, routines and trying to keep it together. We covered this and more in this incredibly validating and enlightening conversation! STAY HOME. WASH YOUR HANDS.
