--"Family Fitness & Life Coach: Elevating Health Journeys for Families | Tailored Programs for Discerning Clients Seeking Optimal Wellness & Balance."
🕰️ The Dance of Time & Parenthood: Don’t Miss the Beat! 🕰️ Dive into the wisdom of Robert Greene, who said, “Time is hard to find and easy to lose.” In our hyper-connected, always-on world, this sentiment rings especially true. Every parent-professional knows the juggle all too well: chasing deadlines while cherishing bedtime stories, balancing conference calls with school recitals. But here’s the twist: In the grand theater of life, it’s not the ovations at work but the applause from tiny hands that leave an indelible mark. As the world goes digital, our children crave the analog - our touch, our voice, our undivided attention. ✨ While milestones earn us endorsements, it’s those shared giggles, words of encouragement, and evening walks with our children that get etched into the soul. ✨ Greene’s words are more than a reflection; they’re a challenge. Amid the ping of notifications, can we hear the whisper of a child’s dream? Amid the glow of screens, can we see the sparkle in our child’s eyes? So here’s a call to action for every hustling professional: 🚀 While we soar in our careers, let’s not forget to anchor in the moments that truly matter. Because in the end, it’s not about how much time we had, but how we danced through it with the ones we love. #ParentingInProfession #TimeWellSpent #MakeEveryMomentCount

Navigating the demanding world of BigLaw while managing the joys and challenges of parenthood presents a daunting challenge, particularly for mothers striving to excel professionally without compromising family time. Elaine Spector's journey took a significant turn when she chose to reduce her work schedule, aiming to spend quality moments with her children. This transition, however, was met with unexpected hurdles. After adjusting to part-time work and welcoming her second child, Elaine encountered a firm refusal from her employer when she requested an additional four weeks of unpaid leave—a decision that led her to question her career trajectory. This week's installment of #DrivingDiversity delves into Elaine's pivotal experience. It's a narrative of resilience, adaptation, and the relentless pursuit of balance that promises to strike a chord with many, regardless of their profession. We invite you to join the conversation and explore Elaine's journey through our latest blog post. Discover the paths navigated in quest of work-life harmony and share your thoughts.

As a mom of two young daughters, I have been navigating a new journey of motherhood and career. At every turn, I am presented forks and uncharted waters trying to stay afloat as I forge ahead. Wondering what’s ahead, today Flipping The Barrel event had a panel that provided insight to the unknown for me. Regina and Kimberly shared some incredible advice around careers, motherhood, family, perspectives, and life. The best part was to hear their adult children’s perspectives and seeing the other side of the coin. Talk about invaluable! Here are a few things that resonated for me from the powerful discussion: •No such thing as balance: it’s an ecosystem and you have to cultivate into the outcome you’re looking for •Quality over Quantity: be present and intentional with the time you spend with your children/family •Survival as a unit: everyone plays a role in the family. Each role is important to the success of the family unit •Financial balance: Look at your time as an asset and outsource what you can in order to have the energy/time for the things that are most important. That looks many different ways depending on your personal situation at that moment in time and it can shift. Intentional help can be a game changer. •Always have perspective! If you put your problems in a bucket with the rest of the worlds, you would fight to have your problems back…. As I reflect on the this discussion; I feel seen, understood, and validated. Hearing others talk about the challenges/juggling I am currently going through and seeing them on the other side makes me excited to run into the unknown 💃🏻💪🏻 If my daughters are going to live a life where they work and become mothers; what a great opportunity for me to model that for them. Thank you Jamie and Massiel for curating such a special panel!
