Are your kids in school? Daycare? Who cares for them What keeps your plate full these days?
My kids are 32, 22 an 13. My 13 is at school and the only one in the house and my time is filled with being mom, wife, podcaster and mentor.
Do you work because you want to, need to, or some combination of both? What’s your honest answer to the question, “Why do you work?”
Combination of both but I enjoy what I do.

Time management and not feeling guilty or resentful when I don’t get my needed time for me.
What’s one resource that would make your life easier?
A cook!
