Returning back to work after you’ve had a baby is NUTS. It can feel like we’re expected to do all the things for work, baby, and home (often times self isn’t even in the equation) while in a major state of sleep deprivation. In response to a listener request, in Episode 164 Christine welcomes mom of twins + podcast producer Jessica Alpert as the first ever guest host for the Edit Your Life Show. Christine and Jessica talk about back-to-work survival tips spanning self-compassion, day care logistics, outsourcing, self + relationship care, and the financial long game.
