Ambitious and Balanced Working Moms Rebecca Olson

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm diving into a topic that resonates deeply with many of us as working adults—the lost art of doing things simply because they bring us joy.

Today, I'm encouraging you to reclaim that sense of fun and desire in your decisions. I'll share 3 reasons why you should reintegrate your personal desires into your decision-making process and offer a practical strategy to help you start today.
Working moms, get ready to embrace the spirit of summer and make enjoyment a part of your everyday lives! Let’s get to it.
