00:00 Hi, Nicole. So excited to chat with you.
00:03 So we want to talk back to school.
00:05 You know, a lot of parents are preparing, getting ready to send their little and big ones back to school.
00:11 And it can be such a hectic time for parents.
00:13 You know, I am actually seven months pregnant, so I have not experienced sending a kid off to school yet.
00:19 But I know that you are kind of a veteran.
00:22 You have a child that is a senior, I believe, and then also a child that's going to college.
00:26 So any advice for parents who are just trying to balance career and making sure that their kid's experience is a good one
00:34 and that they are going back to school confident and ready?
00:39 I think that with the help of organization, everything can get done.
00:47 And it doesn't have to make you crazy.
00:50 The crazy is when there is no structure.
00:56 And as a mom, structure -- you have to make space for your relaxing, unstructured time.
01:02 But you have to make time for that.
01:04 You have to be structured about how you're going to let go every day and how you're going to take care of yourself.
01:10 But I think that in order to not lose your mind, that itemizing those things throughout the day, no matter how silly they are,
01:21 like from getting the half and half to the manicure to the kid's doctor's appointment,
01:28 I think that we can't wing it in the morning with the half and half.
01:32 Because what's going to happen, you're going to say, well, I'll get it on the way back from the doctor's office.
01:37 And you're going to go to bed.
01:40 And you're going to wake up and you're in traffic and now you have to cook dinner.
01:45 And then you're going to go to bed after getting everybody together and then you're going to wake up and want your coffee.
01:49 And guess what you don't have?
01:51 >> Have an app.
01:53 >> You are going to be so mad.
01:59 >> I'm going to be so mad.
02:02 >> With the doctor's appointment and the dry cleaning, there's no way around it.
02:08 >> Yeah, it's like planning for the little and the big things.
02:12 >> And especially if you're a high functioning person.
02:15 I mean, most modern women, we keep six balls in the air already.
02:18 But you're adding six more.
02:20 >> Yeah, yeah.
02:22 >> And you're going to be so mad.
02:29 >> And you're going to be so mad.
02:31 >> And you're going to be so mad.
