I never thought I’d be the kind of person to own a 'walking' desk. (... I bet I'll buy a weighted vest next). As a working parent with long days of back-to-back calls, I found myself feeling drained—mentally and physically—by 2pm. Sitting all day left me stiff, sluggish, and overstimulated.

Something non-fiction but not really work related. So, I picked up a book that had been recommended to me more than once: Hands Free Mama by Rachel Macy Stafford. I expected light inspiration. What I didn’t expect was a full-on emotional reset. The premise is simple—but it hit me

I’ve always been fascinated by productivity—how we can design our lives to support not just productivity, but presence. As a single parent with a full schedule and a wildly energetic 4-year-old, I’m constantly reevaluating how I spend my time and energy. Last year, I retook my 20 Hour Work week course . (Confused read: 20 Hour Work Week Course) In a moment of radical honesty, I took a hard look at my daily, weekly, monthly rhythm. Between meal planning, grocery shopping, co
